Hi Joseph,
 
IIRC - If I recall correctly
 
Are they always the same clients who drop off, or does it vary?
 
Also, are there any devices, routers or NAT devices in front of the ISA
firewalls?
 
What address is generating the all port scan attack? I usually ignore
those warnings, but since something is happening here, it worth checking
it out.

        Thanks Tom!
        I will continue to look for a KB that will help. (what does IIRC
mean?)
         
        Clients are all XP pro and one 2k Pro using Outlook 2002
(updated and patched).
         
        Neither ISA shows anything in the System / Application event
logs ...... except for a crap load of :15105 notices
         "ISA Server detected an all port scan attack from Internet
Protocol (IP) address x.x.x.x"
         
        Should I be doing something with these source IP addresses?

        Hi Joseph,
         
        It could be the client operating systems. I recall a KB article
that mentioned a fix for PPTP connections that dropped early -- but
IIRC, the drops took place after a minute or two.
         
        What client OS's are they using?
         
        The Event Viewer on the VPN server usually says why the
connection was dropped, if the VPN server was aware of the droppage.

                I am at a remote site - inwhich which all users connect
to the main office via individual VPN clients (temp situation for next 2
months). After approx 20 minutes, no traffic seems to go through the
PPTP tunnel.
                 
                If I disconnect, then re-connect all works well. I don't
know if one of the ISA boxes are to blame.
                 
                My laptop is also connected to the main office, with the
same applications opened and I have no problems.

                Help! Please Help!
