The issue is reproducible from multiple PCs, with different OSes, but only from my network. Since I doubt anyone has experienced this exact situation, what steps can I take to troubleshoot my evanescing VPN?ĭuring this two year span, I have changed ISPs (on both ends), added a new domain controller (my network), and changed routers (both networks). Connected for a few minutes, then silent death. I can sit idle, send continuous pings, RDP, transfer files, all of that at once - it makes no difference. It doesn't matter what type of traffic I send. The only variable is how long the connection survives. It happens every single time, in exactly the same way.
After a short while, it will eventually tell me the connection has dropped and attempt to redial/reconnect (if I've configured the client that way.) If I reconnect, the connection will re-establish and appear to work correctly, but again will silently drop, this time after a seemingly shorter time period. However, whenever I connect from clients on my home network, the connection drops (silently) after 3 minutes or less.

I am able to connect to and work over the VPN from every windows client I've tried, including XP, Vista, and Windows 7 without issue, from at least five different networks (corporate and home, domain and non.) It works fine from all of them. I've set up a Windows 2003 server as a domain controller and VPN server at a remote office. Until serverfault was born, I pretty much gave up on solving it - but now, hope is reborn!
First, this problem has existed for almost two years.
