I telecommute thru my FreeSwan VPN from Chicago to Detroit. I set up a Win2k server here that runs WINs and replicates at something like 12am to me only (a Pull replication). I only need to do it once or 2x day. I logon to my own network here and can use the shared folders in Detroit. I can also logon to the domain network in Detroit without any problems. You can try using 'Kixstart' to launch all the drive mappings when you logon.
The only speed issues I see are from the saturated T1 in Detroit (some 300 ppl trying to access the internet at the same time with Lotus Notes clients replicating every morning). I am using a Dell Optiplex P133 and the other end is a Raptor box (PIII something or other). -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Charles Steinkuehler Sent: Friday, April 19, 2002 5:09 PM To: Brock Nanson; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: RE:[Leaf-user] NT networking over LEAF IPSEC VPN > I may have been one of those who replied on the FreeS/WAN list.

These could be done automagically with a logon > script. I see *GIGANTIC* differences in access speed when browsing to network resources vs using mapped drives. Mapping a drive makes the performance *MUCH* better. I have yet to do any qualitative tests, but "user experience" indicates a 10x to 100x type of improvement. This could easily be the result of a sub-optimal network configuration on my part (I'm not a particularly good Windows admin, and don't particularly want to be...I know just enough to keep my system running). Please keep the list informed of your progress with this...
