Dear friends

I'm having a recurrent problen with the document analisys in Trados Studio 2014. 

The scenario is the following:

- I'm doing the analisys in my computer with my local installation of Trados Studio 2014

- The project template, the translation memory and the project package is in a external server which is connected with my office trought an VPN connection.

- The file to analize contains 5021 words and the weight is 54kb

- The size of the translation memory is 651mb

The first time the duration of the analisis was 29 minutes, and the log shows the following error

"FATAL [2016-05-12 11:42:00,785] Sdl.Desktop.Platform.UnhandledException - Referencia a objeto no establecida como instancia de un objeto.

After that i tried again and the total time of analysis was 6:21 minutes. This is what the log shows:

Do you know what is happening? Could it be a network problem accesing the external components (translation memory, etc)? 

Do you know any best practices o success case for working with remote places with Trados Studio?

Any suggestion is very well welcomed

Thanks
