We are experimenting with VPN as a way to let remote users access their
files on a Windows 2000 server.

Two problems so far:

(1) Sometimes there are several false starts before a file can be opened.
If for instance I connect to the VPN, then go to My Computer and try to open
\\servername\foldername, I'll get a "Windows cannot find" error message a
couple of times, and then I'll get prompted for my user name and password,
and once I've given them, everything starts working fine.

What do I need to tweak?

(2) More seriously: When I'm connected to the VPN, access to the rest of the
Internet is slow, presumably because it's all going through the VPN server.

I understand this can be corrected by some kind of routing table
modification. How is that done?


Thanks!
 
Any ideas, anyone? ChicagoTech says some rather sketchy things about this;
I'd like to have the whole story.
