How do I get my T1 speed work more efficiently

[199002003]

Hi,

I have site2 site vpns setup, say: siteA and siteB
siteA has pro2040 and siteB has tz170, for some reason the user from siteB is having hard time to get the resource from siteA, it takes a few minutes to get the resource. Is there a way to speed up searching ability? what will be the proper way to limit the user to use the online radio? for some reason the
radio streaming online takes a lot of bandwidth even thought I have T1 connections. Any specific ports I need to block? ( I can't disable the online access for them though).

Thanks,

Do you have any of the security services licensed? If so you can use Intrusion Pervention services to block it.

Thanks for the advice, but I don't have any of the security services licensed; any other solutions?

You could look at the some of the built in reporting tools in the SW and see where all the traffic is coming from. Then you could block a website or IP with the SW. I would look into purchasing the security services though.

I would also suggest you use DNS entries to find servers as opposed to netbios names (mailserver.mydomain.com as opposed to just mailserver). Netbios traffic is very slow over any routed links (your firewalls act as routers).

to setup blocking.

How do I setup use DNS over Netbios names on Sonicwall pro?
