Replication Issue With Cisco VPN Client

If anyone has run across this before, I'm having the same
issue with the same components.
If I figure anything out, I'll post findings here.
Thanks,
David

I believe Paul Ibison has seen problems with this. If he doesn't chime in
here, contact him offline.

Replication Issue With Cisco VPN Client

Morning Guys,
I really need you help, I am just about to seriously pull my hair out. Here
is the situation.
I have 1 server running SQL Server 2000 sp3a with merge replication setup,
and 150 users on laptops running MSDE 2000 with the latest service pack and
dialling up to the server via a 56k modem and using a Cisco VPN Client to
gain access.
If I communicate on the network, all the replication works fine, if I
communicate on a ADSL Line all the communicates is fine, if I dialup,
communication will just fail, it will process the articles and then fail. I
really need some help here. I have adjusted the MTU rate on the server,
Cisco router and the client. but I just can't get this to work correctly and
I have this working in many other companies.
The dial up users are getting a good connection with 50k
If you need anymore information give me a shout.
Thanks Tim.
Tim,
have you tried following the recommendations in this article:
http://support.microsoft.com/default...49&Product=sql
It refers to a transactional setup but if you substitute 'merge agent' for
'distribution agent' it should apply eqally.
HTH,
