Ben I am running the exact same setup from the sounds of it. Even down to the 
dsl as my access to server. I ran windows update, as a matter of fact, last 
night and stay connected remotely today without any issues.
 
Wish I could help. One question though, is your DSL provider static IP, or 
dynamic?

Subject: [isalist] VPN Connections dropped


http://www.ISAserver.org



Having a new problem with our VPN connections. 

Setup: ISA Server on a Win2K Server (SP3) Box.  Fairly standard VPN 
configuration PPTP and L2TP (though we don't use L2TP yet).  Always on DSL 
connection.

        Clients are WinXP and Win2K Pro, generally, connecting over RoadRunner 
cable modems using PPTP. 

Connection goes fine but for some reason anywhere from 4-35 minutes into the 
session the connection is simply dropped.  No error, no warning.  Nothing 
useful in the event logs on client or server - just that the connection was 
dropped.  Can reconnect fine, but again 4-35 minutes later it disconnects again.

Up until a couple of weeks ago it worked fine (for over a year).  Any immediate 
suggestions? 

The only think that comes to mind here is that we have recently done some of 
the "Windows Update" service packs/hotfixes on the server.  Any of those known 
to affect VPN like this?
