So I've recently located to the other side of the country (Bay Area kicks ass), but have kept the same programming job for my company in Baltimore. I VPN into their network, which sets me up so it's as if I'm directly attached to the network.

Web sites hosted on their servers seem to respond well enough, the lag being a reasonable amount to deal with. But browsing the network shares is atrociously slow. Is there a way to speed it up?

I'm almost hoping that there's an alternative application to Windows Explorer that might be better. Any ideas?
