We have a team of users connecting to Citrix from a hotel in West
Virginia that they are using as an office, they will be there for about
a month, but could be back there several more times for a month at a
time. They are experiencing problems with Citrix being slow, or
disconnecting. I believe it is 98% or more on the hotel end as several
times they called me that Citrix is down, but they can't get to Google
either. The hotel doesn't have the greatest infrastructure, they have 31
Linksys 802.11g access points on the first and third floor of a hotel
with about 200 rooms, no true wired connection is available. The pipe to
the Internet is just 3 meg download, 384 upload.
The head user in this location sent a message to our Managing Partner
about how unreliable Citrix is. Fortunately, the Managing Partner uses
Citrix extensively, and hasn't had a problem but I'm trying to do
anything I can. The big bottleneck obviously is the hotel's Internet
connection, my connection at home is better. Does anyone have any
suggestions on how we might be able to get them a better experience? I'm
looking into something like T-Mobile's PC cards, and we're seeing if
there is office space we can rent, but apparently there isn't much
available.
We are on PS 4 Advanced on Windows 2000, soon will be switching to a
Opteron 285 box running 2003.
