VPN slows IP over the LAN considerably.

[richardphoenix]

We have installed VPN onto a Windows 98 machine, which has the following setup in Network Properties

IBM Token-ring PCI Network Card

TCP/IP

Microsoft Client

Since installing this, IP is about 10-15 times slower over the network, there is no problem using NetBeui, I have also installed this on my machine with the same effect, so it does seem to be the VPN software, I assumed that the MaxMTU settings in the NetTrans key in the registry may have an effect, but I have had no luck there, does anybody have any ideas? Please??
