Theres nothing out on the net and every where I go they point to this newsgroup / mailing list. Here it goes... I have setup MPD to be best of my ability and am getting intermitant packet loss (only with mpd, pinging through when not connected to the vpn works beautifully).I think the root of the problem lies in a non reported issue. When I connect to the VPN I get a connection status box in my XP sys tray. If I open that up I get a list of bytes sent and received, as well as the compression % and number of errors. Compression is always 0% even through I tell mpd to use compression and have checked its enabled in the VPN connection settings. If I sit the machine pinging the LAN IP of the MPD server when connected to the VPN, I start racking up lots of errors. Ive only been pinging for 15 mins and the errors is up to 58. Unfortunatly it doesnt tell me WHAT those errors are, or where to start looking to resolve them. The short of it is that the VPN works, but its paralysingly slow (throughput has been logged via trafshow as being 300 bytes > 3k a sec on a 256kbit ADSL upstream ... averaging mostly around 300-400 bps) and could really do with some pointers as to where to start looking. -- Dan Hardiker [dhardiker@eorigen.com] ADAM Systems Engineer eOrigen Ltd
