Extremly slow internet browsing while vpned into the company network.

Hi, we are having a problem internet browsing being extremly slow while vpned into our company network. The connection is very fast when not vpned in. Can someone give me some idea's on where I can start trouble shooting this problem?

Thanks a million,
Rory

what kind of VPN do you have? do you have split-tunnel enabled?
I suspect your VPN tunnel is tunnelling everything, so after you VPNed in, your Internet browsing is actually going through the tunnel and then go out. Also check your DNS settings when you are VPNed.

Hi magicomminc, thanks for your quick response. I am pretty new to the vpn world, how do I check what kind of vpn I have? Ho do I know if I have split tunnel enabled? What DNS settings do I need t check?

Thanks,
Rory

what software do you use to VPN? and do you know what equipment you connect to?
can you do a "ipconfig /all" before and after you VPNed on a PC and post here?
