VPN Connectivity

[Sean Faust]

Good Afternoon All,

Here is my problem/question:

I am setting up PPTP using both Windows 98 and Windows 2000 clients and
establishing a tunnel to the Internet Appliance VPN box.  The tunnel is
established fine and stays up.  I then launch Microsoft's Terminal Server
client to attach to a TS inside my LAN.  The problem is that the connection
will not last for more than a minute or two and then is dropped.

The clients are users on private networks, some are straight dial in and
others sit on NAT networks to the internet either using ISDN or DSL.  The
results are the same across the board. I can nail down the tunnel but
running Terminal Server the connection will not stay up.

This is my first experience with VPN's and I have done a miserable job to
say the least.  If anyone could offer some insight I would be very
appreciative.


Thank You
