We are running a Win2K3 Server box, and I'm a remote employee that connects via VPN. I've been frustrated for some time by the connection speed over the VPN (the office HQ has a decent speed and I have a biz class connection here), and decided to do some checking today.
This morning, I was dialed in and looked at the networking tab of the task manager, and I see that the adapter for the RAS Server (the box has 4 Gigabit adapters) has a speed that seems far too low.
The speed for the RAS Server link hovers between 300 – 600 Kbps. The local connection (and others) all say 1 Gbps.
Can I set this to a higher speed? Is this information accurate?
Thanks for the input.

The remote access connections will connect as fast as possible given the network between the two endpoints. If your connection is slow, a network link somewhere between you and them is the cause.
