PPTP VPN... Help !!!

Friday, March 5, 2004 by wstaylor | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I KNOW somebody here can help !!! I have a server running Windows Server 2003 SE... I have 2 locations for my business and I have connected them via PPTP over VPN. The only problem is: When I make a VPN connection I lose all of the bandwidth on the client side... Here is the scenerio:

Dell Server ///\\\ Dell OptiPlex
Win S2003SE ///\\\ GX160L XP PRO
SERVER /// INTERNET \\\ CLIENT
*** /// - \\\ ++
3.4k
3.4k
3.4k
3.4k

Server (one NIC) > Switch > Watchguard SOHO > DSL Modem -> Internet -> Linksys 4Port (Router/Switch) -> XP Pro Clients

HELP ME PLEASE !!!

Linksys is a BESFX41 with VPN Endpoint... I have to check the firmware version ( that was a suggestion from another thread ) The Watchgaurd has the latest firmware revision.. it is a SOHO6... PPTP works it is just very very very slow...??? DesignCaddy.. I used the slashes to separate the items in the diagram ... But due to the auto-correct or auto-elimination in this message board the diagram came out pretty ugly... here is link to the message board at microsoft... http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/community/newsgroups/dgbrowser/en-us/default.mspx?query=PPTP&dg=microsoft.public.windows.server.networking&cat=&lang=en&cr=US&pt=&catlist=&dglist=&ptlist= ( listed under PPTP - Loss of bandwidth )
