Here is the scenario:

- retail store on the first floor has a DSL connection
- stock room on the second floor has DSL connection
- they are at least 500 feet apart from each other
- tried VPN connection to store on the 1st floor and it worked but the application we were trying to access from 1st to 2nd floor second flr stock room took 8 minutes to 18 minutes to open
- i am thinking that the only way to improved connection speeds and lower the latency period of the application is to reduce the distance of the two computers

Any other ideas would be very much appreciated

Matthew

Why are there 2 DSL lines? Are they seperate entities? A VPN connnection from Where? At 500' that exceeds the limit for ethernet. You could try to bring the two devices closer to within the ethernet distance specs, or install a repeater somewhere inbetween, or run a fiber link with ethernet media converters.

Running fiber would be the obvious choice to me. For a couple hundred dollars in one-time fee (or maybe a couple thousand when you add in equipment), you could connect the two facilities at 1Gbps, and not worry about it.

Running a VPN through the Internet to connect two floors seems asinine to me.
