Question : Problem: Performance Issues on Small Business Server VPN

I have setup a Small Business Server 2000 with ADSL (512Kb/s) access to the Internet and a client PC (XP) with ISDN 64K access, defined and connected a VPN between the two machines.

The performance is extremely slow.

I have also tried a different client PC (Win98SE) using a 56K dial-up and get about the same, very slow performance.

I have tested the upload speed (server uploading from Internet across ADSL) and get about 55KB/s as expected. I know the reverse speed will be about 50% but it takes over two minutes to Map a network drive!

Can anyone help as I don't know what to look at next?

I think your getting resolution errors/timeouts.   Perhaps a WINS server will help or adding entries into the clients HOSTS file (c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\host) with static mappings to your server.
