This could be an old wives' tale.
I can't say what would cause this unless they're doing some form re-authentication every 15 minutes. Anyway, you don't want every computer on your network connecting to the corp. VPN, right? Then all you'll need to do is port-forward the services through the firewall to the single desktop you'll be using to connect. Chaek the IPSec doc at http://www.shorewall.net for exact details on configuring this with Bering/Shorewall. It should be referred to as a 'pass-through' connection. -- ~Lynn Avants Linux Embedded Firewall Project developer http://leaf.sourceforge.net ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user SR FAQ: http://leaf-project.org/pub/doc/docmanager/docid_1891.html
