Windows XP explorer process performance when inside a VPN Monday, October 6, 2008 at 3:43 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by prabhu (1 messages posted) Due to security measures I have to connect to a VPN to access our servers. Once I get connected to the VPN, my local explorer process does not start immediately. It takes about 45 seconds to even show the start menu items or for that matter anything related to my local file system. I'm pretty sure that it tries to search something over by local network before showing me the menu items or folders. However this does not happen while I connect to the VPN from home. I have a Windows XP professional SP 3. What could be the reason? How can one find as to what the explorer process is trying to do? Thank you.
