Hi all,

We have a stand alone Windows 2000 server running NG AI R54 on a HP DL140 
server. When installing the policy TCP connections seems to hang for about two 
minutes before allowing connectivity through the firewall (I.E. - The VPN goes 
down and access to 'allowed' services hang for approx. 2 minutes) after this 
time services restore, the IKE takes place and the VPN comes back along with 
services (users being able to browse, SSH, TELNET etc.). If in the 2 minute 
blackhole you attempt to browse (even from the firewall itself, you can't 
connect, but you can PING and look up DNS records).
This all happens when you push a policy. The network cards seem to jitter (They 
are Broadcom Netextreme). Has anyone seen this happen before? Everything runs 
smoothly as long as you don't push a policy.

Thanks and regards,
Ayden
