We are running VPN and geting disconnects every 10 minutes. IPCONFIG /ALL reveals that the DHCP lease is being issued for 10 minutes only. I cannot find where the DHCP lease durations are kept. I am using Windows 2000 Server. Many thanks. The IP address that I am refering to is the Static address, not the VPN client address. That is to say, that address that the router gives out to the Server, behind the firewall. The router does not have any settings that issue the address for a period of time.<br />
Thanks.

DHCP Lease expires every 10 minutes and therefore VPN gets disconnected

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Networking

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is an auto configuration protocol used on IP networks and an extension of the Bootstrap Protocol. DHCP allows for computers to be configured automatically to communicate with each other over an IP network without the need for manual setup by a network administrator. The implementation of DHCP relies on a DHCP server to hand out network configuration information to DHCP-capable clients that request an IP address (and other information required or useful in communicating with other devices on an IP network). In addition to an IP address, common configuration information served over DHCP includes a default gateway, subnet mask and DNS sever(s).
