Network operation did not complete in a reasonable amount of time

I have an issue when I am sending mail, but only while I am away and logging onto my network via VPN.

I can open lotus notes but when I attempt to send an email I am greeted with:

Network operation did not complete in a reasonable amount of time

It seems to lose its trace for some reason (this is on a linux host).

I’m going to try to kill all the networking. Sametime doesn’t connect inside the client either, but using pidgin it connects just fine.

Anyone successfully resolve this issue? It seems to just drop it’s trace connection when sending.

Please… help

If the trace to the server fails, then Notes cannot connect to the server. Are you able to open databases on the server, such as your mail file? It is possible that it is something specific with your VPN, or maybe something with the OS.

Issue is fixed. It was an MTU issue.

Lowered MTU to 1300 and it worked fine. I actaully think the issue lies with my company firewall. Which we’ll be upgrading to newest revision (cisco) on the 15th… hopefully that ersolves the issue.

I am however going to check the MTU size from a Windows and a Linux client to make sure they are comparible.
