LONG VPN reconnect times (plus VPN VERY slow) - PLEASE HELP

I have set up 2 Win2K3 servers (as VPN routers) for connecting two offices
based upon the article:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...0/html/VPN.asp
When they are connected, they work fine. The problem I am having is that the
VPN routers are taking 30 - 60 minutes to reconnect. Additionally, I am
constantly being asked if there is anything that can be done to speed up the
connection.

Can anyone offer suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Hi CH,

Thanks for your posting here.

What is your meaning of "VPN routers are taking 30 - 60 minutes to
reconnect"? Do you mean it happens when create VPN connection or reconnect
after VPN disconnected? Is there any related error message in Event logs on
two servers?

I would like to recommend that you refer to the following two documents to
create Site-to-Site VPN Connection.
