I am using the Netgear FVS114 The router works fine for the internal network but when VPN is used the router starts droping packets and eventually (usually within hours) it needs to be reset. I am using Win2003 VPN that is just passing through the router. I tried to change the MTU size on the server the router and on the laptop but so far no success.

any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, i'm having slightly similar issue to yours except that i use the FVS114 to to create a VPN tunnel between two sites, and it was working fine for months all of the sudden, the VPN connection just dies within an hour of resetting both routers at both sites.
when doing continuous pings to a PC on the other site, the ping response time keeps slowing down gradually.
No errors have been logged , it's very weird.

After hours of messing around with this and reading on forums. I decided to turn the MTU settings down from 1500 to 1400. restarted both Routers and VPN has been up since, it's almost 24 hours now that it's been up.
network resources are accessible from both sites now.
