Hi

The vpn appears to work ok with pings etc, I don't know what timeout
they have in their firewall but I can't imagine its a few seconds.

Also I can read fields in the db fine and wander around (I can take as
long as I like), it's just when I do an update and then I repeatedly
get the problem with one table and one field.
I havn't worked my way through every table.
