I am having real troubles with a VPN connection. The VPN connection is not used for a internet connection just for file browsing.
File browsing is slow, taking about 3-4 seconds to bring up a list of folders. I can live with this, however the problem is when I right click on a file. Sometimes the right click menu comes up instantly but sometimes it brings up the wait icon for anywhere between 30 seconds to a few minutes before displaying the menu.
I ran speedtest.net and the results were: 3.08 Down/0.13 Up (Mbps)
0.13Mbps = 16kbps upload. So I am not experiencing miracles with opening files. A 120kb file can take anywhere from 5 to 30 seconds. Sometimes transfering/opening files happens as expected other times its slow but the real issue is with the right click as mentioned.
Anyone have any ideas?

Have you any apps installed which have added context menu items to Explorer? WinZip, 7-Zip and others will do this. Try disabling any additional context menus and see if that resolves the issue.
