Hello,

I've seen this issue on the board before, but I have not seen a resolution
that worked for me yet. Here is the issue:

- I have SBS 2003 Standard (not using ISA) with 2 NICs setup properly

- When I use VPN to connect from inside my network, the VPN
drops/disconnects at exactly 3 minutes every time.

- I have tested my router and it works perfectly. In fact I had this same
router setup with a Win2k server and had no VPN issues. Also, when I connect
a pc to the router and bypass the server, it works perfectly.

- Now it gets fun: With my current setup, I can VPN to a NT4 network all
day long without any trouble. It seems that this issue only happens when I
am trying to connect to a Server 2003 or SBS 2003 network from inside my SBS
2003 network.

I do not have a Win2K server availble to try to connect to out, but I may
build one over the weekend to test this further.

This is driving me crazy! Any suggestions?

Thank you,

- John
