Tom: for every time you help - a beer is owed. Please pick them up soon, my 
truck is getting pretty heavy.
 
1) Thank you.
2) Same clients (as it seems).
3) The ISA has a Netopia DSL modem/router. NAT function has been turned off. It 
should be passing through all traffic without translation or inspection.
4) The IP addresses: 198.133.170.1, 167.206.5.250, 129.250.163.36, 
147.208.132.198, 64.233.179.104 and more.
 
*** Interesting find, if I execute a continuous ping from the client to the 
home server - the connection continues to work fine... so far ***
 
I found a few articles - but the closet say to contact MS for a fix.

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.
 
Tom

        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.
         
        Tom

                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.
                 
                Main Office Firewall: Windows 2003, ISA 2004.
                Remote Office Firewall: Windows 2003, ISA 2000.
                 
                Help! Please Help!
