Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I am sorry that I answer so late but I wasn't avilable for some time.
I read the PDF that you pointed in your e-mail, According to the description of the table my configuration should be OK.
I will check if I have issues with the firewall as well as with MTU. I read somewhere that it will be nice if the MTU size is reduced.
I will give feed back as soon as I have access to my test server and see if I can do something.
With best regard.
Lyubomir.
