Hi Rick,
No it is a single connection card. As you said nic just disconnects
itself and comes back. This cause firewall service to restart and the
uptime on firewall service goes down to zero. But if I right click on
nic and choose status, that time shows the server uptime since last
reboot. It might have nothing to do with VPN connection but that it
happens mostly when VPN connections are initiated. As you mentioned it
might be just a good idea to change nics. I am going to switch between
the nic used for internal and external and see if it makes any help.
Thanks again

Hi,

It's not ISA causing the problem it's the Intel card, is it a dual card?
I have 3 customers with the same problem all on dell servers. The nic
seems to temporarily disconnect itself and the immediately re connects
it's a pain in the "!!?>><
Updating the drivers does not solve the problem! And it is only one of
the nic channels that drops the connection.

I solved the problem by removing the Intel dual nic card and replaced it
with 2 separate nic cards.
Seems to be a problem that neither Dell or Intel admit too.

Best regards.

Greetings,
 
Anyone got ISA running on power edge 2850 with Intel adapters? The
problem I have with it when sometimes we try to issue a vpn connection,
it causes the firewall service crash. Of course it goes through the
reset process and comes back alive but cause a delay on service.
Checking on event log didn't find anything interesting. But in email
notifications I get this.
 
ISA Server detected that IP address 192.168.1.254 was removed from
network "External".
 
I did some search online and others are suggesting updating the nic
driver. That one didn't help either and this happens again. It is intel
pro 100 S which dell driver is here
