[vpn-help] WIN7 & NET USE problem / TRACE utility won't

[John Wilson]

Mathew, 
 
Yes, I can ping across the tunnel as you described.  1500mtu works fine.  As
does 1380, 1200, or any other setting I try.  I am getting longer times that
you . around 55ms and my TTL=254.
 
Trace "sort-of" works now.  I am getting info on the Security Policies,
Security Associations and Firewall Rules tabs, but nothing on IKE Service,
DNS Service and IPSEC Service tabs.  Does that mean anything?
 
I had signed up for the list with my work email, but have been communicating
with you with my home email.  I just signed up for the home email so that I
can respond to you via the list.
 
Thanks,
John

So you can ping hosts on the other side of the tunnel using using a 1500 
byte packet and get a response?
 
C:\Users\mgrooms>ping -l 1500 10.1.2.100
 
Pinging 10.1.2.100 with 1500 bytes of data:
Reply from 10.1.2.100: bytes=1500 time=5ms TTL=64
Reply from 10.1.2.100: bytes=1500 time=3ms TTL=64
Reply from 10.1.2.100: bytes=1500 time=2ms TTL=64
Reply from 10.1.2.100: bytes=1500 time=2ms TTL=64
 
Ping statistics for 10.1.2.100:
     Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
     Minimum = 2ms, Maximum = 5ms, Average = 3ms

You must run the VPN Trace application as administrator. Right click on 
the program icon and "Run as Administrator". At that point, you can use 
the application as intended.
