My company has a FVS318 vpn firewall. I just recently discovered that anyone behind the company network has a hard time downloading pretty much anything.
For instance, I can download from “www.download.com,” but specifically, if I were to try to get AVG 8.01 from download.com the download will start, get to about 42% and than stop. The thing that doesn’t make much sense to me is that we still have http traffic flowing normally. connections to web pages are fine. There is no slow down that I can tell, but the download itself is halted.
This happens regularly, and it occurs all across the company. There are a lot of downloads that get to 97 or 98% and just stop for no reason what so ever. I have looked at the knowledge base at the netgear home page, but I am coming up with data that is frankly less than useless for this problem.
At this point I am moving up the chain of devices to see what is, and is not passing traffic currently. We do have a linksys wireless router right behind the net gear, but the security function for this has been disabled, so it is basically passing traffic, and running wireless that is it.
Has anyone ran into this issue before, where a download will start, and than just stop for no reason what so ever, while still allowing http traffic to flow what appears to be normally?
