Hi ,
I have a customer with the following inquiry..
"I have noticed an interesting performance issue with my "production" environment and Wingate:
Configuration:
Wingate VPN server installed on Dell Server (Primary Domain Controller) under Windows NT Server 4.0 sp6a
Wingate VPN client installed on Dell laptop under WinXP
If both server and client are running on the local network behind the firewall, system performance appears sluggish, especially on first access to a directory, or the first access of a network program accessing files or systems on the Dell server's disks. For example, starting an Excel spreadsheet located on the server's shared disks may take up to 10 seconds from time of Excel launch (local program) to the time the spreadsheet is loaded and ready to work on. (Note: the VPN is active, but has a conflicting routing information)
If I disable the VPN on both the server and client ends, the access is relatively quick - only 1-2 seconds to launch.
Can I do something to allow the VPN to always run even with connected locally, while preserving local network performance?"
Can you offer any suggestions that I can pass along?
Thanks
Joan Chandler
