I have two small offices eah with a static IP address and a Netscreen 5 Firewall. Main office has 6 PC’s running XP and 1 Win2k Server.
I have a route based VPN linking the sites with the main office on a 192.168.16.0 network and the other office on a 192.168.15.0 network.
I can see each office fine now that I have entered the details of the servers IP into the lmhosts file but it takes an age to open/save files across the link. I have an MTU of 1400 on each firewall.
Anyone have any ideas what the issue could be causing the delay in opening files and would installing WINS on the server make any difference even though name resolution is taking place?
Or any other ideas on speeding the connectivity up
Many thanks
