RE: ISA VPN Stops working

Hi Glenn,
 
When you say it stopped working, do you mean that you're able to
connect, but the tunnel dies, or that you're not even able to connect?
 
How many addresses do you have bound to the external interface? Which of
these are you using as the tunnel endpoint?
 
Each machine needs a certificate that the other trusts, but a cert
server certainly doesn't need to be installed on either machine, or even
on the network.
 
Make sure that fragment filtering is disabled.
 
HTH,
Tom

        In the process of evaluating ISA as a firewall I noticed that my
L2TP tunnel that was working between the two test servers suddenly
stopped working, I am beginning to think that a certificate server is
required to maintain this tunnel. I did however make one modification in
RRAS, I set the connection state to persistent on both ends. Could
anyone tell me if a Cert server is absolutely necessary
        for tunnels to work when created between two or more ISA
servers.
         
        Thank you
          Glenn
