Disregard, we found the problem is something on the destination FTP server. Our wonderful LAN Support team made some changes to the GPO without letting us (network team) know.

AHHHHHHHH!!!!

Thanks all!!!!

Subject: GRE over IPSEC VPN MTU issue.....

We are testing a solution that we already have in place on a different
vendor, but testing with a new firewall set (Juniper Netscreens).
Anyway, we are running GRE over IPSEC for routing purposes over our
VPN's and for some reason with the new solution, the MTU is not
negotiating down (we are clearing the DF BIT, so PMTUD is not an issue
here) to the 1420 MTU I have set on the GRE Tunnels.

Also it seems that from one network, we have no issues RDP'ing or
FTP'ing but from another it fails. This seems like a rule base issue,
but I don't control the firewall, so I am "relying" on the firewall team
to make sure is it not.

Anyone have an ideas to test this. I know about the ip tcp mss-adjust
command, but the current solution doesn't require this, so I want to try
and avoid it if possible.

Anyone seen something like this before or have an ideas for direction?

Thanks,
