Then it occurred my VPN might be affecting this somehow. I stopped it just in case. OK, same thing. I did run the one on the NAS box first, since I assume it needs to be listening when I run the command on my main rig. After stopping the VPN, I ran both again. > > Just so you know the machine is reachable, I am ssh'd into the NAS box and I also have it mounted and copying files over with rsync.

If you're running a VPN then you'll need someone at a higher pay grade than me, but packetizing TCP packets into and out of VPN security is certainly going to use CPU cycles and slow things down, at least a little. No idea if that's what caused your gkrellm pictures. Also, any network heavy apps, like playing video from the NAS or from the Internet is also going to slow file transfers down. Your error message is telling you that something is in the way. Can you ping the NAS box? ping 10.0.0.7 Can you tracepath the NAS box? tracepath 10.0.0.7 Are you sure that 10.0.0.7 is the address of the NAS box? Do you have a /etc/hosts file to keep the names straight? HTH, Mark
