Hi,
Some of our users are experiencing prolonged issues of the RPC
Dialogue Box ("connecting to exchange server" etc) appearing whilst they are
working on-line from their OL2002/WinXp clients (to Exchange 2000 SP3 +
rollup) and connected using (Cisco)VPN across ADSL circuits.
However, the dailogue box does not time out and frequently causes the
individual computers to hang. The problem does not occur with locally
connected computers, nor computers connected across a (slower) Frame Relay
circuit.
I suspect the problem is related to the inherent unreliability (due to
variable bandwidth) of DSL circuits, but have so far been unable to identify
a fix. I can't believe that I have the only users in the scenario so would
welcome any suggestions.
I have tried disabling the RPC dialogue box. This disables the box
appearing, but does not stop the hanging. I have also reduced the MTU size
on the PC (to about 1200 bytes) to try and prevent the connection creating
unreasonably sized frames. Any other suggestions please?
Thanks in anticipation
Martyn
