Citrix performance over PIX firewall

Can anyone help me with this one please?

We have a Win2000 SP2 server running Metaframe XPs v1.0 (build 1360) SP2 FR2... This runs on a server at our head offices and sits behind a Cisco PIX firewall connected to a 2Mb DSL pipe... We have two remote offices one connected via a Cisco PIX-PIX VPN and the other has one static IP address allowed to use port 1494. Both of these offices use 512Kbps DSL.

The problem is that we keep getting hit with timeouts whereby the connection drops and pops up an "error in connection" box which offers the option of a timed reconnect, reconnect now or cancel.

I've been through a lengthy process of trying to tune the various TCPIP and ICA keepalive settings in the server registry and now I need to focus on the other devices that may be affecting this. Therefore, the next likely candidate is the PIX. Are there any specific settings that I need to consider for using Citrix over a WAN / VPN link?

Thanks,

O.k. More information, I tried a CLEAR XLATE on the firewall which appeared to temporarily resolve things but after deeper investigation, the situation is still the same.

Users are getting thrown out after 10 to 20 minutes no matter what we try.

Can anyone please offer some advice?

Can you post the VPN configurations from both PIXs?
