A Windows 7 laptop has problems staying connected to the Server 2003 VPN. How can I fix this issue?
The user has to connect five or six times until he finally reaches a point where he stays connected.
This is not a problem with the internet service at the user's home, since he is able to download rather large files and play online games for hours without ever being disconnected.

Hi,
Which VPN are you using? if using the built in win2003 I would suggest to get a third party VPN. If not possible make sure you have configured 2 network cards on the server (one for the VPN) in order to avoid connection problems.

We are using the built in Server 2003 VPN. The server currently has only one network card, which is being used for everything.
Will installing a second network card just for the VPN connections make that much of an improvement?

Hi,
Well it is recommended by microsoft to use a second network card if you want to use the built in VPN. Now keep in mind the followings :
- built in VPN is not working that good (everyone is using third party VPN, I use Sonicwall products)
- when you connect through VPN, your computer gets a second IP address from the server that handles the connection. If there is only one NIC then you have a problem delivering a second IP and mainly if you wan t to use file and printer sharing. The second NIC is only used for that so there are no conflicts on the same card.
- I used built in MS VPN in the past, I never managed to get it fully stable and secured.
