i am trying to vpn into a w2k server that has a sonicwall firewall attached. on a win 98 machine the vpn will attach and i can work on it without the sonicwall dropping that connection. unser xp pro and w2k pro; the sonicwall will drop at random times and will reattach when i disconnect the vpn. anyone have this problem or suggest a solution?

In the access area, services tab, set the "Network Connection Inactivity Timeout" to something higher than the default 5 minutes.

each rule under the access area also has a "Inactivity Timeout in Minutes" field, set this higher if you have a rulefor the vpn.

Also, I don't know how you got a w2k server to work behind a sonicwall. As far as I know the sonicwall does not do passthru of GRE which is needed for pptp vpns. They want you to use thier expensive VPN. Do you have a sonicwall website link with information on the setup that you have.
