Hi all,
I have a multi-site client using Windows Enterprise (32bit) server 2003 in
NLB with 2 TS servers.
They have various printers on hte remote sites. We have a 10Mb Leased line
in the main office with VPN connection to the remote offices. Remote offices
have 4Mb Leased lines. Internet traffic is sent via a separate ADSL line and
all office work is over the VPN's
The VPN is set to allow ALL traffic, so no restrictions on ports etc, all
traffic is allow both ways but only through the tunnels (i.e. no direct
connection to the internet via the leased lines/routers.)
The problem I have is that whn the printers have Bi-Directional printing
enabled and SNMP enabled, they come up as OFFLINE.
I take these options of and all works....How-ever....printing is extremely
slow. Previously they had SDSL connections between the offices with 2Mb
connections all round and printing worked OK and much faster...SNMP etc was
enabled without any issues.
I'm not too concerned if we can't enable SNMP (though I'd love to know what
is causing the issue), but I do need to find out why printing has suddenly
gone so slooowww (up to 15mins printing from the internet!!)
Any ideas greatly appreciated.
