Recently (two weeks ago) I posted a discussion asking about internet access and wifi in Europe because at the very last minute I found out some people at the very top of the food chain were going there for business and wanted to get their email.
We have our laptops setup to establish a VPN connection, and then they launch their Lotus Notes client and it works the same as if they are in their offices.
Problem, latency. They could usually establish the VPN, but in places like the UK they would get a time out error, or server not responding error. Worked just fine in the Czech Republic though.
There are other modes for the Notes that are less bandwidth intensive that we will be checking into for the next trip, probably in April.
I was wondering if people “across the pond” have issues with timing out.
For example, when I ping techrepublic.com.com the average time is about 90ms for me, with 11 hops. This is done at 10:30 EST (GMT -5).
I am also hoping to join Shell in a European WoW server at the start of next month and wonder what to expect from the distance of the servers. (good thing I just upgraded to 3mb cable modem!)
