I am having a problem staying connected to my office VPN. I can connect without a problem but after approximately 2 minutes, the connection fails and then reconnects. This happens like clockwork, every 2 minutes.

I am running Windows Vista, a wireless laptop, a D-link wireless router and using SonicWall Global VPN 4.0. All Windows updates have been installed as well.

Does anyone have any ideas as to why this could be happening? I've already tried changing firewall settings and that didn't help.

"Changing firewall settings"...what does that mean, exactly?

What comes to mind is perhaps that somewhere between your home (I'm assuming you're at home) and office networks, someone is doing some bandwidth shaping of some kind. What that might look like from your end is a series of dropped packets every so often. This is just a guess, but you did present a rather complex problem.
