vpn speed

Hi,

If your users are getting a good connection - something near 50k, 45k even, and your server isn't a bottleneck due to being overloaded, then there is little you'll be able to do about this.

Is it that your applications are bandwidth hungry? Measure this using the performance monitor and verify that 56k will be adequate for the job. It sounds like it isn't!

If thats the case, then your only real option is to suggest your users upgrade to cable or DSL connections.

That wont be an option if they're all mobile, though.

Cheers,
Tim.

Instead of using a VPN why dont you use Terminal Services which allows you to have a logical connection to the 2000 server as if you were there. This will only take about 30K and will aliviate some problems that you have with the bandwidth. Terminalservices is not the most secure out there but it may do the job if you need your users only to work with certain applications. It allows you to print to your local printer and to save to your local hard drive (Using windows 2000 resource kit you can find more options such as terminal web server) Try to use this option it will definetly be better for your users. The reasone is because they will only be transfering the picture, keyboard and mouse anything else is really done at the local machinetherefore only 30k is used max.one more thing download an update to make it more secure, that update is in microsoft.
VPN is not the only option out there.
