I'm working in a home-office and accessing applications
off my corporate network through a tunnel and VPN (Blue
Ridge Networks and Citrix) (sys: P4, 512K RAM, Win XP Pro,
Office XP Pro, VPN router, cable internet). I'm having
some serious problems so that I can't work: 1) extreme
latency using corporate applications when in the tunnel
AND VPN, 2) Using the VPN only without the tunnel is fast
but dumps me out every few minutes, 3) When using the VPN
without the tunnel, Outlook can't access the Microsoft
Exchange server, 4) I can use the tunnel only to use
Outlook, but as soon as I log into the VPN all
applications just drag.

Thanks to "Chaos" who recommended upgrading from XP Home
to XP Pro, which did improve speed but not enough. My old
Win 98 computer has good speed through the same router,
cable connection, tunnel and VPN (but has older Office
applications which will not work with my corporate
network). My laptop is running Win 2000 Pro and WAS
working fine until my corporate office upgraded my laptop
to Office XP Pro, now has the same latency as the XP
Pro/Office XP Pro computer (which I think means I can't
upgrade my old Office on the old Win 98 computer).

My Network administrators do not know what to do, I have
contacted Blue Ridge and Citrix and maxed out their help
and am getting really desperate!! Any help will be
appreciated--especially if you can get me working before I
lose my job. Is Win XP the problem? Is Office XP the
problem? My network settings? Something running the
background? Please HELP!
 
I set up a vpn on my wife's computer to her corporate headquarters
I tried to set it up on her desktop but it would not work
did get it working on her laptop which she uses at work
found out it was a security issue on corporate end
 
You need to take that citrix and the other piece and get yourself a 3com before somebody finds out. you can get a server card that does 125mhz for $70.
 
Thanks for the tip-I'll check it out

Thank you for trying to help. I have no idea what you are
talking about, but be sure I will try to figure it out and
follow up-I really am desperate and just spent another
eintire night and day trying everything and talking to my
network administrators who have convinced themselves that
everything is a-okay! Since these NA's have chosen Citrix
and Blue Ridge, do I actually have a choice? Is a server
card something I can add on to my system to improve speed?
Thanks.
