Hello, I have set up a VPN link using IPsec with OpenSwan between two Linux boxes, and I am using this tunnel to communicate a bunch of w9x/2k client with a w2k file server. The thing is that, the WAN link where the tunnel is set, has a bandwidth of 128kbps, and the browsing of the file server, and the opening of a file like for example, a word document, takes a lot of time. This times of file opening seem to vary very often. They go from 1,5 minutes to 15 minutes. I haven''t seeing the 15 minutes open file time, but the users had told me that it happens from time to time. I wonder, maybe one of you guys, had find your selves in a similar situation and can give some advice. I am not sure, if the netbios communications with this file server are working right, and I would like to know, if it is possible, how to tune the scenario to get it to work properly or at lease, how to view the state of this communications. Any ideas will be most welcome. TIA! BR, Matias.
