hi i have already setup the following successfully:
- win 2003 master dc/ad/dns/dhcp/gpmc - successfully
- client xp machines - all internal domain users receive internet access successfully
- vpn - remote vpn client can logon successfully
as ive been teaching myself upto this point so far and not setup a site-to-site or branch site as yet, due to my network design!!
question 1. i wish to know if there are any tweaks i can do that speeds things up ?
Step 1: Get a faster connection
Step 2: Get a faster connection
Step 3: Get a faster connection
Step 4: Get a faster connection
Step 5: Get a faster connection
That is pretty much it.
Things just "are what they are" when it comes to that.
Contrary to popular misconceptions propagated by ISPs that only focus on residential customers,....the most important speed is the Upload Speed,...not the Download Speed. Things like VPNs for example will always lock in at the slower Upload speed and that is the speed they will run in both directions. So you want to get the fastest upload speed you can get,...preferably a Synchronous connection (same speed in both directions).
