You should talk to the vendor (microsoft) and ask them how to tweak their
product to properly work over the WAN.
Don't let them get away with substandard product when it comes to WAN
optimization. If you can get microsoft to clean up their act, you'd have
done ISPs a great service, because then we can stop trying to convince
customers that it's not ISP fault that they get bad speeds with their
windows PCs.
