Windows Server Forum / Small Business Server / SBS 2000 / February 2005Need faster connection
Hello all and thanks for all of the good advise that has been dispensed before. I would like some advice from some gurus that have dealt with this more than me. I have VPN set up and can connect great but many things do not work well more than likely due to slow upload through my ADSL connection. What would be a good upgrade in connection to make VPN work better. The users would like to access files on their server based folders, they time out opening Excel docs now. I have an SBS2003 2 nic set up with approx 30 users. I have 6 users that are now working remotely. So what would be a good way to go? T1, ISDN, mental telepathy? Thanks in advance. Aaron When you say you have 6 users working remotely are they all in the same "location" (i.e. same building) Or is each one in a different location?

Aaron Spread out pretty good. 3 at a remote office together that has a fractional T-1 line. The rest are at client sites and I do not know what type of internet connection they have but they are all supposedly high speed.

Aaron well they would be better off with a high speed dsl or cablemodem and then a site to site vpn...not much you can do about the ones at the clients sites At the main office you should get the biggest pipe you can. Remember, you have to spend money to make money If you're users are being bogged down by bandwidth, then you're wasting money. Check your DSL and Cable providers who will provide a static IP and get the biggest bandwidth you can get. Some providers are offering up to 6MB (about 4 times faster than a full T-1) SignatureCris Hanna [SBS-MVP] Small Business Server Specialist The Trinity Companies - Microsoft Gold Partner St. Louis, MO www.trinitycos.com ------------------------------------------------------------------ Please only respond in the newsgoup and not to me directly so that all can benefit from the information SBS 2003 - microsoft.public.windows.server.sbs SBS 2000 - microsoft.public.backoffice.smallbiz2000 SBS 4.5 - microsoft.public.backoffice.smallbiz Spread out pretty good. 3 at a remote office together that has a fractional T-1 line.

Aaron Make sure you pay attention to more than just the download speeds, as the upload speed will have a big impact on the VPN connection. -TK M/T Box Computers > Cool, thanks.

[quoted text clipped - 51 lines] > > > > Aaron The server should have whatever you can afford. Well at least half a T1 would be nice. Note that the remote users will work no faster than their upload speed less some vpn overhead. For a typical ADSL that might be 256k less overhead. This of course assumes that you have at least that fast of a connection at the server. Were I live you would be foolish to get an isdn because of cost. ADSL for remote sites is the way to go unless they have $400+ to spend on an economy T1. >Hello all and thanks for all of the good advise that has been dispensed >before.
