Hi....

VPN link via a mapped network drive. One PC is having an issue where if the

folder contains lots of files it takes ages for the list of files to come up

also... if the scrolling down the list of files takes ages to..

Try to map the drive using IP instead of the hostname.

Re: Folder browsing across VPN link.

 

thanks for the reply robert..

 

Ive already mapped the drive using IP instead of machinename.

going through command prompt to the network drive and doing a DIR the files

list

up the screen very quickly.

 

ITs a new PC I only built few weeks back for the remote worker... His old XP

pc is ok does not share same symtoms.

Anymore ideas ?
