Re: VPN Stability Router-Router SBS 2k3 STD 1 Nic Setup

Hi Larry,
The remote office is a branch office with three windows xp pro workstations
routed through the single vpn. The upload speed is 450 at both sites.

Hi Paul:

Inet VPN, router to router or not, is problematic in some parts of the
world. The class of service can make a world of difference. If you have
768 down and 128 up, you effectively have 128 between the two.

This sounds like although you did not say, a home office - branch office.
Can you confirm that we are discussing this? Or something else?

I can find no guides on the internet to configure sbs for a hardware,
router
to router vpn on a single nic.
I have cobbled a setup which uses this but the problem is the connection
is
dropping regualry and is pretty unstable.

Issues,
Outlook connection to exchange dropping.
Long log in times, applying user settings. (upto 10min)
Error's in remote workstation logs.
Unable to access remote office shares from main office (ping is fine)

I have basically configured the hardware router vpn link and connect the
computer through this to the domain. However I also needed to manually
add
the wins server to each client for it to talk properly.

These are the error messages in the logs I am receiving

disrupting there work severly.

Do I need to add a subnet range on the server for the 10.0.2.1 ?

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
