Hi,

Our main office runs SBS 2003 R2 and the standard VPN server. All our
remote offices, except one, have no issue with connecting to the VPN
and everything works fine.

The one office which does have an issue manages to connect but then
after approx 3 minutes the connection drops and they have to
reconnect. As you can imagine this becomes very frustrating and means
that accessing files on the network becomes virtually impossible.

I've tried using my own machine on their network and I experience the
same problem as they do, so I know it's not related to their computer.
I've also tried 3 other machines (Windows XP, Vista and 7) all of
which experience the same issue.

I've tried upgrading the firmware on their router (D-Link) but this
hasn't helped either and now I'm at a complete loss as to what the
problem might be and how to go about fixing it.

This is the connection log for the VPN on the clients machine,

Very possible that you are saturating the link which would explain why it is
site specific. Building and tearing down VPN tunnels can be resource
intensive. You should really be setting up site-to-site VPNs for remote
offices, not client-server VPNs. *much* easier to manage, troubleshoot,
easier on WAN links.

I'm not sure how we could be saturating the link as it's only one
person connecting from this office, and when they connect, even if
they do nothing, they still get disconnected

I should have been more specific, but also without knowing a lot more about
your setup it is tough to be *too* specific.

In short, VPN tunnels still keep an open encryption tunnel open, so an idle
connection still consumes some bandwidth and resources.

In particular, consumer grade routers can *really* have a problem with VPN
tunnels and NAT. NAT devices try to do address translation, not just on the
packet, but also at the protocol level. There is a reason you can FTP
behind a NAT router, for example. The NAT stack on the router actually
changes the IP on various places within the packet itself. Because of that
deep packet inspection, encrypted packets can *easily* overwhelm a poorly
designed consumer router...they simply weren't designed for this type of
traffic. Depending on your infrastructure, your connection to your ISP may
also suffer similar limitations (older Motorola SURFboard modems, for
example, were very PPTP unfriendly.) So, back to what I said above, without
knowing more about your infrastructure, I can't say with too much
specificity where the problem lies.

But the fact that it drops after three minutes pretty consistently does tell
me that some device along the chain is, in fact, having issues. It slowly
bleeds resources while the tunnel is open until it has no more resources
left, then the connection drops. When the connection drops, those resources
are freed, and the cycle repeats.

With that in mind, I'd still recommend a site-to-site VPN. It is easier to
manage because you don't have to troubleshoot individual connections, but
also many site-to-site VPNs are established *at* the network edge so, in
many cases, you are avoiding the problem of VPN traffic going through NAT
devices that can be problematic. Obviously if your ISP device has issues
then that will still occur, but it is one less thing to worry about
regardless.

This may be over simplistic, but...

Could it be their building alarm system is not properly filtered (especially
if a DSL line)? And the connection is lost every time the alarm system
pings the home office?

Just a thought.
