Hi William, You'll need to set up a certificate server, unless you're using a VPN server that supports shared keys. Check out www.microsoft.com/vpn for lots of excellent information on VPN. The Win2003 VPN supports preshared keys out of the box.

If that doesn't help, then we can blame DSL ;-) HTH, Tom Thomas W Shinder www.isaserver.org/shinder ISA Server and Beyond: http://tinyurl.com/1jq1 Configuring ISA Server: http://tinyurl.com/1llp -----Original Message----- From: William England [mailto:administrator@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, May 02, 2003 12:09 AM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] RE: FW: RE: VPN Connections dropped http://www.ISAserver.org Hi I don't use IPSEC/L2TP just PPTP and yes I have a DSL connection. Let me explain setup. DSL modem creates the Internet connect with ISP and ISP is giving me a fixed IP. The DSL modem also has a local IP 10.0.0.138 and is connected via crossed patch lead to ISA external NIC. All traffic received by DSL modem is not filtered in any way but is passed to ISA external NIC. Then from the ISA machine itself I created VPN connectors using network and dialup connections to the external sites. Await your response Thanks William ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist ISA Server Newsletter: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/newsletter.asp ISA Server FAQ: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Exchange Server Resource Site: http://www.msexchange.org/ Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this ISAserver.org Discussion List as: administrator@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send a blank email to $subst('Email.Unsub') ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist ISA Server Newsletter: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/newsletter.asp ISA Server FAQ: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Exchange Server Resource Site: http://www.msexchange.org/ Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this ISAserver.org Discussion List as: matthewm@xxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send a blank email to $subst('Email.Unsub') ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist ISA Server Newsletter: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/newsletter.asp ISA Server FAQ: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Exchange Server Resource Site: http://www.msexchange.org/ Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this ISAserver.org Discussion List as: tshinder@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send a blank email to $subst('Email.Unsub')
