Have notebook users that travel to different locations and need to run applications currently installed on their individual notebooks. The applications are tailored for their business and have to access the sbs 2003 shared folders, and, require a drive mapping - F: to one of the shares on the sbs 2003 server..<br />
<br />
The sbs 2003 is at headquarters using a basic soho router. &nbsp;The notebook users use their individual over-the-air carriers like Verizon, At&amp;T, t-mobile, etc on their notebooks to connect via vpn using Logmein Hamachi to the sbs 2003 server but performance is very poor when &nbsp;the applications access the shares on the sbs 2003. &nbsp;The notebook carriers bandwidth and headquarters bandwidth both have 3mbits/sec download and 3mbits/sec upload.<br />
<br />
Before we start looking into using terminal server or paying for even higher bandwidth speeds, is there a better over-the-air solution for the mobile notebook users that have to use that vpn connection? &nbsp;<br />
<br />
The notebooks are running win 7 pro and home premium.<br />
<br />
many thanks

Wireless networking is anything related to the transfer of data between two (or more) devices without the use of a physical connection, ranging from getting advice on a new Bluetooth headset to configuring sophisticated enterprise level networks.

Wireless Networking

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.

Windows Networking

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.
