Mark, My ISP knocks me off every 10 minutes, but I found an easy way to fix that, in your connectoid, properties your dial up connection and choose options and in redialing options > redial attemps (use) 99999999999. Every time your connection is dropped windows2000 will automatically redial the connection. Good Luck! With Kind Regards, Khan ____________________________ Faizal Khan MIS Manager Guyana Forestry Commission 1 Water Street, Kingston, Georgetown, GUYANA.

First of all I'd like to ask for you experience with this kind of connection, does it always work as expected? Even though I configured the connectoid to never hang up and to restore a dropped connection, after some time of inactivity, ISA will hang up and not restore the connection until I issue a request from one of my clients. I tried to cirumvent this using task scheduler on the ISA server to ping a certain host every half hour, but this doesn't obvioulsy work either. I have also been receiving event log entries saying that there was no dial on demand interface for packet filters (running the german version - the error message might look different in english), but that error seems to have gone miracleously. There was no hint neither in the knowledgebase, the online help or in T.W.S.' book. Thanks for listening.
