VPN connection - transferring/ swapping files from local server causing BSOD
A strange bug, but, every time I connect to my brothers computer in Scotland using a VPN connection [I live in The Netherlands] I am getting a blue screen of death [BSOD] which is preceeded by a crash of explorer.exe when transferring files from the local server. I've tried transferring several times now and every time the entire system crashes, first explorer.exe crashes, reinstalls itself automatically and is followed by a BSOD after the transfer has been active for +/- 5 minutes. To ensure its not being caused by any other programme I've been running the VPN connection with no other programmes open or running. In Vista Home Premium I never experienced this problem when transferring/ swapping files from the local server over the VPN network set up on my system.When the VPN connection is disconnected Windows 7 runs fine, no problems in fact. This problem is making networking via VPN impossible for me in Windows 7.Has anyone else experienced this problem when transferring files via a VPN in Windows 7 beta and is there a fix? I have Windows 7 beta, build 7000, 64 bit installed.
