If you're seeing slow connections between the routers, when using IPSec
tunnels configured in the devices, it's not going to be any faster with
a 2003 VPN. Try setting your encryption level to a lower value. It also
makes a difference if you have fixed public IP's or dynamic. You should
also make sure that each router is setup with a different subnet,
meaning the office should be something like 192.168.10.1/24 and the
others should be 192.168.11.1/24, 12.1/24......
Most of the MS doc's talk about dual nic and only tell you that you have
to use a CUSTOM setting for single nic, but, if you read the document
it's fairly easy to setup a 2000/2003 VPN server.
I have one location with a real firewall, a WatchGuard Firebox III unit
as the corporate office with 13 Linksys BEFVP41 units at remote offices
and it's fast. We're using business class cable 3mb/1.5mb for it.
