Because I'm new at this, i don't know if that would rule out bad routing or not, so I'll have to give it another shot when I get home. I will say that I turned off split-tunnel functionality and just had it Tunnel All so I could test differences last night, and the speed was the same. We do use a split tunnel (otherwise internet gets cut off whenever I connect and I'm told it's better to keep it separate). This is a great start, when I get home tonight I'll do a Trace route and see where it's going. I was asked to pick up some of the responsibility for IT related stuff, but as many of you know 'small business' doesn't always mean 'easier technology'.ДЄny suggestions from someone with experience would be greatly appreciated - Obviously I'm hoping the answer isn't just 'get faster internet' since from every angle it seems we should be able to output data faster than we are through VPN - or at the very least be able to 'upload' files to my home computer faster than I can 'upload' files to our internal network - I would think my home connection wouldn't be able to upload at twice the speed of our company's data line. I'm relatively new to the scene as I was the graphics guy for our company and worked with our IT guy for years, but recently he was let go (he was the grandson of the company owner and the company was sold, the family members of the old company owner were also let go in the process).

We use a Metro E connection from Norlight Communications (here: http:/ / business/ network/ metro-e) and should have plenty of bandwidth, especially after hours when I'm testing this stuff and everyone is off of the phones, so what gives? Is there something that can throttle the connection that might be doing this elsewhere on our network that I'm not aware of? I just did a test and work's connection shows 3 meg upload speed even when everyone is on the phones, so I'm confused as to why it's going so damned slow - it's pretty much unusable in that form. I am able to upload at about 160-180k, but downloading a file from a share to my local desktop caps out around 50k (jumps between 30k and 70k, but mostly sits around 50k after it's been downloading for a bit). I was able to set up VPN on a test laptop and even my computer at home, both by fully logging in to the domain (so logon scripts could mount drives) as well as by just double-clicking anyconnect and manually mounting a share. Our people were using their own laptops and use Log-me-in to remote into their workstation here, but now they will not have desktops so Log-me-in is no longer a solution they can use. We have a Cisco 5505 ASA, and I am trying to set up VPN properly since we will be getting a handful of laptops in for some of the traveling managers here.

I work at a small to medium sized business with less than 50 computers on the network.
