Force IE to default to your home page through out Network


First, for this to work I am assuming you have a Windows 2003/2000 network with Active Directory, and your client workstations are joined to the domain
Get on the domain controller, go to Administrative Tools, and Launch Active Directory Users and Computers.
Right click on the domain where you would like to create the policy.

A menu will popup – select properties. A dialog box will be displayed.

Click on the Tab that says “Group Policy”
Now Click on the Edit Button
A tree view of policies will be displayed.

Drill down to this key:
User Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Internet Explorer Maintenance -> URLS
Now, double click on Important URLS. You should see a dialog box that lets you change the default Help, Home, and Search pages of IE.



Make your change, and wait. I will take some time before the change replicates across the network – workstations will also need to be rebooted for the change to take effect

test vpn bandwidth and speed with iperf

This article explains how to use a free utility called iPerf to test the speed of a VPN connection. In this example I am running iPerf on windows but there are other versions available (i.e. Linux). Download iPerf from  http://linhost.info/2010/02/iperf-on-windows/ Put a copy on 2 computers with 1 either side of the VPN. In this example I have put in the c:\triangle folder On the “server” PC open a cmd prompt and navigate to the folder containing iperf. Note on computers running Win7 or Win2008 I recommend running the cmd prompt in elevated mode. Run the command  iperf –s On the “client” PC open a cmd prompt and again navigate to the folder containing iperf. Run the command  iperf –c After a short while the estimated bandwidth is displayed.
