Why would a clients SBS Premium box be very slow when browsing
directories but when I connect via RWW, or RDP, everything runs just
fine. Only the browsing over the VPN is slow. A ping show an average
of 20ms through the VPN connection but it may take 20-40 seconds for
the directory contents to show in explorer.

Where should I start looking? Both connections are business class
broadband at 3am in the morning.

Thanx, David.


Browsing requires NetBIOS which doesn't work over a routed connection. If
you have VPN configured, do you have the SBS server's IP listed as your WINS
server IP on the local client? You should still not expect browsing to work
very quickly or very well.

VPN is really lousy for file access. I'd use it to get to RD/RWW and/or sync
files, but I wouldn't want to use it to, say, open a Powerpoint
presentation.

RWW/RDP is fine because you aren't actually pulling much across that
connection - you're just getting screenshots of the remote computer. So that
will always be faster.
