Hi all. I'm having a networking problem that's stumped everyone I've gone to for help.
I'm on a network at work, and am connecting to another network via VPN. I'm trying to Remote Desktop into a computer over the VPN with a local IP (192.168.1.85).
When I first connect over VPN, I can connect via Remote Desktop but as soon as I interact with the computer at all, the connection is lost. It doesn't appear to be an RD problem, however, as demonstrated by a follow up test. I connected the VPN, no problems. I immediately pinged that IP and all 4 pings came back fine. I pinged again, all 4 came back fine. I pinged again, 3 came back fine and the 4th timed out. Then all pings after that timed out. I disconnected and reconnected the VPN and had similar results, only it wasn't the 12th ping that timed out again (in other words, it's not consistent).
In short, it seems like my VPN connects fine but shortly thereafter it disconnects itself. I have no idea why. No errors are raised and I'm having a difficult time trouble shooting this.
The only option I changed from the default options for the VPN is "Use default gateway on remote network" in TCP/IP advanced settings. I turned this off, on the advise of our tech guy. I'm running XP Pro w/ SP2, fully updated. I have Norton AV auto-protect on but it behaves the same with it off as well. I've disabled my firewall.
Can anyone help? If you need more info just ask. I just got done with a fresh reinstall and it's still not working.
