| 1234957 | 2011-10-02 02:04:00 | Hello Guys Just playing around with VPN I have to set one up at work in a few weeks time, but have just been trying it out at home on Windows 7 Ultimate. I setup the connection and forwarded the PPTP port 1723 in my router and made an allowance in the Windows Firewall for this port as well. I can connect to it no problems, but after like 10min or so I lose connectivity to the intenet. The only way to get it back is to release and renew the DHCP address. I can't figure out yet why it is dropping the internet connection. I'm about to try in on an XP work machine to see if it does the same.... What am I doing wrong? Thanks Radium |

| 1234958 | 2011-10-02 02:51:00 | What's dropping the internet connection? The VPN client or VPN server? What do the routing tables look like while everything is ok, and when things stop working? (in a command prompt shell, type "route print"). |

| 1234959 | 2011-10-02 08:21:00 | VPN server, ran Route Print after disconnection, the routing table just appears to show that it dropped any info relating to the router (gateway) and is only displaying the Local Host 127.0.0.1 info. Obviously I couldn't ping my router at this time either. Now I setup a VPN on my XP machine and I have no issues at all. Works fine. Just on the windows 7 PC. Appears to be a conflict somewhere that I am missing... |

| 1234961 | 2011-10-03 06:14:00 | It's unlikely to be the router - if the routing table is dropping routes then the traffic will never make it to the router. | somebody (208) | ||
