OSD Code 28
If you are attempting to use a VPN connection and your Sun Ray gets stuck at OSD Icon 28 (trailing letter matters not), it could be due to the fact that there are switches set up to filter
IPsec/IKE traffic (ports 500 and possibly 4500) and the first IKE message is not getting through to the VPN
gateway. Just a little nugget I learned today (from a non-blogging guru) and am passing it on to you. Good to know the cause because this happened to me last week in Cincinnati and cut my demo short. Update: Non-blogging guru clears up a couple of my ASSumptions.
Now see if you had an EVDO wireless driver in your sunray software, this would not be a problem ;-)

Is there any plan of integrating the VPN into the older Sun Rays or is it just going to be 2's onwards ?

Hi Robert,
It's just in the 2's. Besides RoHS, it's the major reason for the processor change. The old 100 Mhz MicroSPARC IIep could barely handle the ipsec.

Hi. Thanks for the info. Guess its time to try and find someone to sell me just one Ray 2 for my own play at home.

Actually, the real reason that IPsec won't work on
SR1 is that there's not enough RAM. For VPN at
low bandwidth, the SPARC IIep is fast enough. And
the following letter is important. "D" means that
no response was received from the gateway.
