Hello Customer,

Thank you for posting here.

According to your description, I would like to do a summary on your
question:

SBS2003with 1 NIC (if you install other NIC onSBS, please disable it)
Before theSBS, there is a DSL router
You ran the CEICW and Remote Access Wizard, then use Connect to Small
Business Server on remote client to establishVPNconnection toSBS
But theVPNconnection will disconnect after 3m 29s later.

If I have misunderstood the problem, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Before we go any further, please let me know the following information so
that we can understand your situation more clearly.

1. Do you install ISA server 2004 on yourSBS?

2. Do you have static public IP address on your DSL router?

3. Do you get any event error aboutVPNon remote client orSBS?

4. You mentioned "3m: 29s later the connection is severed", does this issue
happen exact at 3m 29s later? Does this issue happen every time? What is
the "severed" mean?

5. Please try to change another ISP on remote client side, and change to
use another computer to establish theVPNconnection, does this issue can
be reproduced?

6. Test theVPNconnection from inside of theSBSnetwork, will the problem
be reproduced?

Note: This test will bypass the DSL router.

Manually create aVPNconnection on the internal client through the
following KB article:
How to configure aVPNconnection to your corporate network in Windows XP
Professionalhttp://support.microsoft.com/?id=305550

Note: TheVPNserver IP is the internal IP address of theSBSServer

7. Run command "ipconfig /all > c:\ipconfig_sbs.txt" and "route print >
c:\route_sbs.txt" onSBSwhen theVPNconnection established, send the
files c:\ipconfig_sbs.txt and c:\route_sbs.txt to me at
v-ter...@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

8. Run command "ipconfig /all > c:\ipconfig_client.txt" and "route print >
c:\route_client.txt" on remote client when theVPNconnection established,
send the files c:\ipconfig_client.txt and c:\route_client.txt to me at
v-ter...@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

I appreciate your time and look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks and have a nice day!

Best regards,

Terence Liu(MSFT)

|
| For those who did not read my first attempt at this I have the
| following:
|
| 1 SBS2003 Server, with one NIC (Really two acting as one, see previous
| post for more information on this).
| 1 DSL Modem
| 1 Netgear managed switch - 10/100 with four 1Gb ports
| 1 Netgear unmanaged switch - 16 1Gb ports.
|
| The current layout is:
|
| [Managed switch]
| | \----[Win XP (Earth)]
| |
| [Unmanaged switch]
| | \ \ \---[SBS3003 (Sol)]
| {inTRAnet} \ \
| | \ \---[File Server]
| [DSL modem] \
| | \---[Archiver]
| {inTERnet}
| |
| [Remote PC (Pluto)]
|
| I guess I am not quite done tryingVPNafter all.
|
| Some research has revealed the the service provider was not providing
| all the Up we were paying for, as a result of some "discussions" we
| now have an opportunity to try again.
|
| I can modify the network described above so it looks like this:
|
| [Managed switch]
| | \----[Win XP (Earth)]
| |
| [Unmanaged switch]
| | \ \ \---[SBS3003 (Sol)]
| [Linksys \ \
| WRT54G] \ \---[File Server (Jupiter)]
| | \
| {inTRAnet} \---[Archiver (Saturn)]
| |
| [DSL modem]
| |
| {inTERnet}
| |
| [Remote PC (Pluto)]
|
|
| I located a Linksys router which can be used to route, instead of the
| modem, if that assists in the setup of the network.
|
| (By the way we are not restricted to either the DSL modem or the
| Linksys Router. I have convinced the company that it might be a good
| idea to replace them both and I found one item that would replace both
| of them:
|http://www.cdw.com/shop/products/default.aspx?EDC=531268
| This would give me this layout:
|
| [Managed switch]
| | \----[Win XP (Earth)]
| |
| [Unmanaged switch]
| | \ \ \---[SBS3003 (Sol)]
| {inTRAnet} \ \
| | \ \---[File Server]
| [Netgear \
| DSL/Router] \---[Archiver]
| |
| {inTERnet}
| |
| [Remote PC (Pluto)]
|
| Any recommendations?)
|
|
| So, here we go again folks... What I would like to know is which way
| is the better way to setup theVPN, Linksys or no Linksys, and how do
| I do it? I ask that the steps you show me are something that someone
| who has yet to do this successfully can follow.
|
| Please keep in mind that after following both wizards on the server
| (Internet Connection Wizard and Remote Access Wizard) and running the
| "Connect to Small Business Server" we are asked for User/Pass/Domain,
| we enter them and are told that we have successfully connected. 3m:
| 29s later the connection is severed. This is still happening, even
| after the increase in up speed (from 320 to 608).
|
| But I do not understand statements like "the NIC IP range on the
| client side cannot be the same as the Intranet side but that the PPP
| IP on the client side will." Partly because we have tried it both
| Broadband and dialup and it makes no difference if the NIC is enabled
| or not, etc., and yes each time the PPP IP has been in the same range
| as the Internet addresses.
|
| I am sure that someone besides myself will benefit from this kind of
| guidance. I see requests for this sort of information in just about
| everySBSforum I have looked in, but most of the time the requests
| for help end in frustration from people either getting solutions that
| did not work for them or because they did not understand the answer.
|
| I have both of these handicaps right now. (Hey, at least I'm honest!
| LOL)

Hi there.

I wanted to let everyone who might be having trouble with this kind of
connection that trying the steps Terence outlined is a REALLY good
idea.

I was following them and at step 6 I discovered the the issue had
nothing to do with our server and everything to do with something DSL
related.

I mentioned that we located a DSL/Router (made by NetGear) that seemed
attractive. We tried it and now we have faster DSL speeds and VPN.

Thank you everyone who provided assistance/advice.
