Hello to all,
I am a newbie to the it world and any help would be greatly appreciated.
We have Win2K pro computers in remote branches, presently going thru a Netgear FVS318 router connected to a speedstream 5360 dsl modem (PPPoE) (dynamic IP address). The FVS318 is strictly in use presently for internet sharing. We are using Nortel Contivity VPN Client 4.65. When we initiate a VPN session thru the client we connect to a Nortel VPN switch. We can establish a VPN connection w\o any problems. The problem is that the VPN connection drops intermittently without the VPN client being aware of the disconnect. The disconnects are at random time intervals i.e. 5 mins, 15 mins, 5 hrs, or can stay connected all day w\o a disconnect. We have had up to 5 VPN sessions running thru the router at any given time.
Has any1 had this problem ??? Can any1 shed some light on this or recommend a different router that may not have the same problems. We did do a test on a Linksys BEFSR41 Rev. 1.1 with latest firmware update and had no problems.
I apreciate any help.
Rob
