After distributing folder redirection through group policy to about 10 desktops, users are complaining that Office, specifically Word, is locking up when AutoSaving their documents. I believe this is because it has to be written to a network drive every few minutes. I know it would be easy to move this location, but I would ideally take a different route... I imagine that the file would be saved locally, and when the computer is not being used it would sync to the network drive. Is there an option where the file does not need to IMMEDIATELY be stored on the server?

I've got a simple set up here:

        Client C                (Internet)
        10.10.10.5 (Static)         |
        255.255.255.0               |
                  \                 |
                   \             X.X.X.X
Server 2008         \          Untangle Router              Client A (Win 7)
10.10.10.10 (Static)-----10.10.10.2      10.10.11.2---------10.10.11.X (DHCP)
255.255.255.0       /    255.255.255.0   255.255.255.0
                   /
                  /
        Client B (Win 7)
        10.10.10.X (DHCP)
        255.255.255.0

Client A can ping Client B. File share also works. Client B can ping Client A. File share also works. Server can ping Client A. File share also works. Server can ping Client B. File share also works. Client B can ping Server. File share also works. Client A CANNOT ping Server. File share does not work.

I've disabled the firewall on Server. Why does the server reject traffic outside its subnet (Client A) but Client B accepts it?

Edit: Here's proof that the packets are leaving the 10.10.10.2 interface of the UT.

Edit #2: I've added Client C, which is also a static IP. I can ping it successfully as well. This is just to verify that the Untangle wasn't doing anything hokey with computers it had not assigned the IP to.

Edit #3: Pings get replied to, until just before the server is all the way booted up. Then the suddenly stop going through...
