VPN drops

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I use VPN -PPTP to get into my office on a regular basis (I'm a laptop,
Win2KPro). I just moved
and am sharing a wireless connection with my roommate. I can get
online, though it is often picking and sometimes can't open a port, but
then often will get on. But once online, I typically get 1 or 2
minutes before it drops me.

I've gone through the router and all the ports are enabled (I'd imagine
that I couldn't get on at all if there weren't).

Is it a modem or wireless router hardware/bios problem? Wireless
problem / settings? As I said, it's always worked perfect (and still
does) everywhere else.

Any advice on the best way to troubleshoot this? How do I get the
error codes? Are these generated on the server end only? I'm guessing
this might shed some light? Pointers in the right direction would be
much appreciated!!

David
