Hi Ben,
 
The most reassuring thing I can offer is that its very likely not an ISA
Server issue :-)  However, you might try uninstalling ISA Server just to
confirm.
 
HTH,

        Static IP address. 
         
        Frustrating because the darned thing worked great until just a
couple of weeks ago.

                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?

                        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?
