Hi Nicolas, Thanks for helping me with this bug.
When I launch a graphical program (e.g. gedit), the connection simply stops working. The SSH console hangs, as does the entire VPN connection (and eventually times out and gets disconnected). I can no longer ping any machines at work in my other terminal tab. >From home I connect to work. The Win2k3 server at work establishes my VPN connection - I can then access the LAN at work, which I then use to connect to my desktop machine at work. I am attempting to forward X11 from my work desktop to my home machine (i.e. by connecting to my work desktop using "ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] -X"). This connects without hitch, but as soon as I run a graphical app (e.g. "evolution") the VPN connection hangs. The exception to this is if I boot my home machine into WinXP, and VPN to work - using Putty and Xming to establish the SSH connection to my work desktop then X11 forwarding works!
