I telecommute twice a week from home to my office, through VPN. With my laptop, I find that if I'm wired into my home network, I have zero issues. When I am using my wireless, after about 6 hours or so I notice a big slowdown, and I have to disconnect/reconnect, and all is back to normal. This leads me to believe the internet connection is fine, maybe it's a hardware/driver issue, or memory? Obviously your situation sounds more severe than this, and I just live with the "bug" I have. - Joey On 3/7/07, auditodd at comcast.net <auditodd at comcast.net> wrote: > > At my last position I used to use RDC to connect to desktops all over the > continental US. > VPN on all the connections. > Going out on a bonded dual T1 to remote sites with varying connections > including 768kb DSL lines and Comcast cable on the East Coast. > > Usually the only time I had issues (slowness, dropped connections) was > when we knew the remote site ISP was having problems. > > Just my experience. > > -- > ========== > Todd Young > > -------------- Original message ---------------------- > From: Damien DeZurik <ddezurik at yahoo.com> > > For what it's worth, I have not seen this problem.
