I have a new W3V and having VPN troubles. 2 different IT companies say it is because my new W3V is old school FAT32.

Thanks

Not sure why FAT32 would affect VPN stuff, but NTFS is usually claimed to be more secure.
I would also recommend going for NTFS for the integrity.

I doubt its because you have FAT32 but I would still recommend converting to NTFS.

I second... um, third that. NTFS runs much more reliably. You'll get the blue screen of death 100x's more in Fat mode than you will (or ever) on an NTFS system.

Thanks All,
I converted both C and D drives to NTFS whatever that actually means, hey atleast I'm not acting like I know.

Anyway, all seems good so far. VPN hasn't crashed.

Thanks again

oh haha, you know I never really knew what NT stood for before until you said that. I always just thought that it was called NTFS since it was the file system that was used(developed?) on way back on Windows NT.
