Hi Alfonso, I haven't heard of that exact problem before, but you might want to look at L2TP/IPSec. I understand the connections are more stable. Maybe so, but I always use L2TP/IPSec in production because there's always a MS Certificate Server available since you can run it on ISA Server. BTW, I remove the certificate server after assigning the certificates, if the cert sever is on the ISA Server, for security reasons.

Every 2 or 3 weeks they disconnect for no reason and when we go to RRAS and click "connect" we get the following error in a pop-up Window: "The interface is disconnected" ...followed by another pop-up error Window that says: "The interface credentials have not been set" But the credentials are correct. Restarting the ISA Control service (which restart RRAS, etc.) does not fix the problem, but rebooting does fix it. Anyone ever experienced that? Any solution so we don't have to do the periodic reboot. We've found no Technet articles related to this. Thanks in advance!
