Whenever I start up a PPTP connection it only lasts for about 40 seconds before I have log in again. I'll connect and then immediately start up Exchange. Almost immediately after, Outlook will hiccup because the client vpn connection wants to me re-authenticate again. IT will does the entire time. Does anyone know why this happeninig and how I can fix it? Thank you.

PPTP Client VPN Problem

If you are connecting on your end to a broadband router it could well be an issue with PPTP pass-thru. I know for many of the Linksys broadband routers it took them several firmware tries to get this right.
In the medium to longer term it might be better to move away from PPTP to IPSEC at both ends of the VPN. A lot of people have decided that PPTP and LT2P is just too problematic.
