Greetings,

We have a Windows XP Client computers that are trying to login to a Windows Server in another city for file access. Our ISP is broadband fiber and pretty fast, faster than the broadband cable we recently replaced. We are also using a SonicWall firewall. The users are using Shrew Soft vpn client 2.1.7. All three of the clients are slow, but one (the first one the client was installed on) is agonizing slow. So slow she doesn't even want to use it.

Once disconnected this pc will still be slow accessing our local Windows SBS 2003 unless I delete the map to the remote server.

If anyone has any tips to address these two issues I'd be really appreciated.
 
I did a regedit on the affected pc. The initial testing seems to be good, but I'm monitoring it to make sure. If this is the solution it was because packets were fragmenting after 1464bytes. The default MTU in winxp is 1480. I'm hoping I fixed it.
