Can not run Server Executables from remote workstation

[adeleaf]

I have a working VPN connection using a soho3 sonicwall appliance. I can browse ALL my network shares and gain access to necessary files remotely. Unfortunately when I try to instal applications on a remote workstation from the server the workstation freezes. I am using a 56k modem on a w98se machine with 196mb ram.
Any help would be appreciated.

Its probably performing the install, but its taking so long because of your slow connection, your PC seems to freeze. When you use your VPN, regardless of your internet connection speed, you loose a great deal of speed do to the VPN tunnel. Our VPN connections are over Cable or DSL broadband connections, yet our users have trouble opening simple word and excel documents becuase the connection through the VPN is not using the full broadband connection. You're using a 56k connection which is even slower, so I would not recommend running or installing programs to your server over the VPN connection. Try copying a small file (around 50k) from your server to your PC and time how long it takes. You'll probaly see that it won't download with a speed comparable to regular 56k speeds.
