Marc,
User unchecked "Use Default gateway on remote network" on the client VPN
connection, and things are much faster! Five users in a branch office all
use their own VPN connections to our central office LAN. Maybe they need a
persistent-connected RAS... In the meantime, what are the security
implications you mentioned? Can I do anything about it with RAS filters or
something?
Thanks again,
David
