Hi all,

I've an OpenBSD 3.2 server running at work which is behind an OpenBSD 3.1
firewall. From home I make an SSH connection with the OpenBSD server and
then with VNC over SSH I connect to my W2K desktop at work. But as soon as I
got logged into my W2K desktop the connection dies and when I get at work,
my OpenBSD server is in a frozen state. Can't connect from any of the
desktops with SSH, netbios or whatever and even the console of the server
froze. So my only option is to reset my server.

Anyone of you had familiar problems? And how did you solve that? (other than
not loggin with VNC over SSH anymore ;-))

TIA!
