The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Need advise on DSL/Router/Terminal server configuration

Asked by jamie177 in DSL Lines / Cable Internet, Virtual Private Networking (VPN), Network Routers

Tags: DSL, router, Terminal server, Load balancing, VPN, esx, vmvare

We have a satellite office that has 4 people working there. The setup is as folows:

Users are connected to a switch that goes to a router that connects to a DSL modem. (3-6Mb/s up and 768k down)
The users are on thin clients and they connect to our main office's terminal server via the router's VPN connection.

The users have been complaining about the server being slow. They use applications such as Great Plains and other apps that they do queries to our SQL server. They also surf the internet while on the Terminal server. They use roaming profiles. The terminal server is a virtual machine on an ESX (VMware) box. We have 2 ESX boxes, they share the load between about 6 servers. Utilization on the ESX boxes do not seem to be high or not normal.
When I RDP to the Terminal server from inside the network it seems to be fine.
The biggest complaint is that the internet is very slow.

My question is what can I do to fix this? I was thinking about getting another dsl line and another router so I can have 2 people dedicated to each. My boss asked about putting another network card in the router so we can use 2 dsl connections. Is this possible since we use vpn to do everything?
