Hi all, I have setup a successful VPN from home to my
works computer, both running Win XP Pro and over a
broadband connection.
However, there is one thing that niggles, it is so slow.
If I launch Task manager and view networking connections
it shows the RAS Server (Dial in) Interface linking at
only 28kbps on the server machine. I have tried this both
ways (work to home) and both machines show the same speed
connection. What can I do to get this connection speed up
to my 512k broadband level ???
 
The OS has no way to determine what the actual speed of a
VPN connection is. It shows the arbitrary value in task
manager to allow you to view the VPN interface there and
see the other columns you can add.

The connection will run as fast as both sides of the VPN
connection can run. If you're on broadband, your VPN
connection will run at however fast your broadband
connection goes.
