Hi Ben,
Find anything out yet? I hear these complaints a lot, where the VPN was
working, and then connections are dropped after "X" number of minutes. I
know that its natural to blame the firewall first, because that's
considered the "X Factor", but remember where most problems occur --
layer 1 :)
Thanks!
Tom

Ah. That would be a tumultuous confirmation - I run an entire
office through that ISA server and uninstalling would be a big project.
:(
I'll check some more things on the client side.

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?

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?
