I think we figured it out. I had another person on the outside try to VPN in and they stayed connected. They too run XP Pro. The difference was that I had a program running that used my Internet connection prior to connecting to my VPN server. Be cause of this, when that product tried to reconnect, my secure VPN connection dropped.

DO any of you have documentation on how to setup a Windows 2000 Server as a VPN server? WHen I set up the server manually, I can connect but then after about a minute I lose the connection. My server is only using 1 NIC Card. I have the firewall all configured correctly with all the right ports opened. But when I try to configure RRAS through the wizard and choose VPN, the wizard cannot continue because it says that a interface is needed and the configuration stops. Any ideas? -----Original Message----- From: Salandra, Justin A. Sent: Wednesday, November 05, 2003 8:15 PM To: ActiveDir (E-mail) Subject: [ActiveDir] VPN Does a VPN server have to have 2 NICs?
