Hi If it helps any I have found that if I stop only the firewall service on the ISA starting the VPN connection then all works fine. If anyone can explain or shed light on this....please do so. Thanks in advance William -----Original Message----- From: William England Sent: 30 April 2003 18:36 To: '[ISAserver.org Discussion List]' Subject: RE: [isalist] RE: VPN Connections dropped Hi Same problem on this side but my clients are Win2K servers with ISA. The problem disappears if I stop all ISA services except ISA control. On clients where they user Win2K Pro I got my ISP to change DSL modem and problem disappeared. Installed SUS lately, Feature Pack 1 and some Microsoft patches. Any other suggestions welcome. -----Original Message----- From: G.

We changed T1 providers and I've been blaming them! Hadn't thought of blaming Bill. Anybody with a clue?

Setup: ISA Server on a Win2K Server (SP3) Box. Fairly standard VPN configuration PPTP and L2TP (though we don't use L2TP yet). Always on DSL connection. Clients are WinXP and Win2K Pro, generally, connecting over RoadRunner cable modems using PPTP. Connection goes fine but for some reason anywhere from 4-35 minutes into the session the connection is simply dropped. No error, no warning. Nothing useful in the event logs on client or server - just that the connection was dropped. Can reconnect fine, but again 4-35 minutes later it disconnects again. Up until a couple of weeks ago it worked fine (for over a year). Any immediate suggestions? The only think that comes to mind here is that we have recently done some of the "Windows Update" service packs/hotfixes on the server. Any of those known to affect VPN like this? -Ben- Ben M.
