Connections issues with Mainland China

We have been exsperiencing many more connection issues with our offices in Mainland China since upgrading to R6. Are other companies noticing this? Our China users run off our Notes server in Tokyo. There are about 30 affected scattered throughout Beijing, Chengdu, Shenzhen, Wuhan and Shanghai.

We have been having this same problem for the past few months. Some (not all) will be working fine for a few minutes then they get the “Server not responding” error. All pings are fine, all telnets are fine, etc. This has been happening only when we have people IN China.

We are using passthru connections that work perfectly well for the rest of the world…just not in China…and not all the time…it’s VERY frustrating.

When we upgraded our Lotus Notes users in China from R5 to R6 they stopped being able to access our Domino servers in the US via Notes passthru. We discovered if we turned off port encryption it started working. Do you have the ports on the server or client encrypted?
