PIX 501 Intermitent VPN Connection Problem

Hi,

I have a PIX 501 setup to allow remote employees to access our local network resources. Everything is working fine but some users running Vista are having intermittent connection problems connecting.

For example, they will connect without any problems the first time but if they disconnect and then try to reconnect again they can't. There doesn't seem to be any clear pattern to the problem.

They are running VPN client version 5.0.05.0280 on Vista.

Could this have something to do with the connection not disconnecting properly?

Is there anything related to the idle timeout that can resolve this issue?

If anyone could have a look over my configuration to see if there is anything I might need to change in order to resolve this I'd be greatly appreciative.

I noted open caveats if your pc has more ip address on network adapter;
anomally behaviours has been observed if your pc was upgrated from XP to Vista.
it colud be possible take vpn client log about connection/disconnection ?
Thank you for the quick response. I will post up a vpn client log ASAP.
Hi MinoDC,

Here is the connection log from a failed connection attempt. Hopefully this will shed some light on the problem. Fingers crossed.
