Hi Everyone, Sure trust that the new year is treating you all well... Has any one else experienced this phenomena: I have two ISA's one a 2000 and one a 2004. Their configuration is as similar as they can be. We use them both as VPN gateways (PPTP). When an XP client connects to the 2004 the connection goes through very quickly and gives a good response for all internal connections. When a W2K client attempts connection it will connect, however it takes considerably longer and internal connections also take considerably longer. When an XP client connects with the ISA 2000 it runs very slow and internal connections also run slow, conversely when a W2K box connects to the ISA 2000 it runs like a rocket. It is as quick as or quicker than the XP on the ISA 2004. This test has been run from three different sites back to HQ with the same results in each location. (DSL links of various flavours) I was intending to convert both ISA's to 2004 however as we are largely a WK2 shop with less than 0.5% XP clients the results are of some concern. I would be interested in hearing from anyone concerning this. I am about to bag the ISA 2004 unless this can be resolved. I must stress it is not that the connection does not work it is just that the performance is woeful.
