Topic: VPN WIN98 Drops Connection

[Richard Buehler]

I have been running with W98 for a while and it worked fine then all of a sudden I can establish the PPTP. It authenticates then establishes the connection. If I run winipcfg I see my IP address that was assigned. I can ping that address but none of the others on the network. This is intermitent, it will work for a few minutes then quit but it does not drop the connection. Help!!!

The problem is that I have (2) clients running VPN from behind a Linksys router on a DSL connection. These two desktops are establishing a VPN connection to the same e-smith box. If I look at the log what I am getting is out of sequence packets. This is because to the VPN box they are coming from the same IP address.
