Hi
This may be of some use to you but this is what I have. We recently did
something similar to this recently using VPN over Broadband. Although IP was
fine we found that mapping a drive was extremely slow and was unworkable. In
order to resolve this we lowered the MTU size on the Tunnel Interface to
arange of 1440 (You may have to tweak on this a little to suite your needs)
and this was excellent, the drive mapping was almost instant and very
usable. Maybe worth trying and see if this helps.
Let me know how you get on
regards
Derek
