traceroue, see which hop is flapping. &nbsp;Or maybe his IP is changing. &nbsp;Or he has bad hardware.<br />

Its happening because something is broke. &nbsp;You'll need to do a lot more troubleshooting to find out why.

Hopefully somebody has a simple answer to this one. We have a VPN between 2 offices both with cisco 1603's. 2 weeks ago the guys who connect to us lose their connection every 1 minute 59 seconds after connecting and then exactly 15 seconds later they automatically re-connect. Does anybody have any ideas as to how or why this could occur?

Software firewalls, also known as host-based firewalls, provide a layer of software on one host that controls network traffic in and out of that single machine. Most operating systems now include firewall software, but many available software firewalls include central distribution, antivirus systems and disaster recovery.

Software Firewalls

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.

Hardware Firewalls

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.
