I'm not sure what you mean by "briefly".  I was connected the the remote system for
*hours* today.  Yes, there was no VPN...and I thought that was part of the idea to
get rid of an extra layer.

You indicated that you've tried this inside of your network without a VPN and it
failed as well....

Good luck....

I hope you don't "hold back" in your bugzilla.   You may want to mention the fact
that you're able to connect....but that it dies after 5 minutes.  That is another
