I realized that my upload speeds to my office over our VPN were very slow so I started digging into it. At the office we have a Netscreen 10 hosting our VPN connections. On one of the servers at the office we have a nice HTTP based file server that I can access remotely using a public IP address (no vpn) and a local IP address (vpn), and when uploading it displays KB/Sec. This gives me the ability to compare upload speeds.
Also, at my remote site (home - Comcast cable), I have several different machines behind the same router running different OS's. These are the machines. Two Windows 7 64 bit machines One Windows 7 32 bit machine One Windows Vista 32bit machine All the machines have Shrewsoft 2.1.7 installed using the same config. I tested all them without the VPN and they all uploaded at about 550-600KB/sec. On the Window Vista 32bit machine, I tried both Shrewsoft and my original Netscreen client. They both performed ok at about 450-500KB/sec. (Slower than without VPN, but I guess that's expected). Same results as above on the Windows 7 32 bit machine. However, on both the Windows 7 64bit machines, I'm only getting about 12KB/sec which is painfully slow. A co-worker at another remote location using Windows 7-64bit and Shrewsoft 2.1.6 can upload at about 550KB/sec. I uninstalled my 2.1.7 version and installed 2.1.6, but I get the same results, so I don't think it's 2.1.7. Can anyone give me some pointers on where to look to figure out why it's so slow. Thanks, Mark
