Are there any settings in Terminal server or IE to speed
up the browser experience in TS. Remote sites are
connectiong thru 128mbps pipe, it doesn't even compare to
IE running locally. Any help would be appreciated.
 
How many connections are running thru this 128Kb pipe (no more than 3-4 I hope) and does any other non RDP related traffic go thry this connection

Items that affect performance the most (over a bandwidth limited connection) are file copy & printing, high screen resolution & color depth. Any web page with motion (flash, shockwave, video) or large images will be slow

In most cases you will use more bandwidth with an IE running in a TS session
compared with running IE locally. Specially when a lot of (changing)
graphics are displayed on the page. What you could do to help this:

- IE advanced options: uncheck play animations, this will prevent animated
gifs like banners etc.(it will make them static)
- IE advanced options / multimedia: uncheck enable automatic image resizing:
I'm not sure, but I think you will improve the bandwidth with this
- Use lower color settings for the RDP client
- disable flash, unless you need it of course
- play with cache settings on client

use 3th party products:
www.expand.com bandwidth compression
www.citrix.com citrix uses a feature called 'speedscreen browser
acceleration' from feature release 3

I hope this helps,
