Need Help With ADSL vpn
consistently freeznig
remote computer
----------
have a peer to peer LAN
( LAN A ) connecting
three computers through a
Netgear switch at our
main location. The switch
is connected to an ADSL
Netgear RT311 router. I
have one other computer
at our main location on a
separate LAN ( LAN B )
connected to the same
Netgear switch so as to
gain access to the ADSL
internet connection using
the Allcatel modem and
Netgear router with a
static IP address. This
same one other computer
is running Windows 2000
Pro and is only accessed
by a remote location
computer (40 miles away )
via a PPTP vpn connection
(LAN B is also running
Windows 2000
Pro)
I connected
all four main location
computers to the same
switch with an external
modem and router.
Everyone has access to
the internet using the
ADSL connection. I then
configured the router for
the vpn for the remote
location.
The
remote location computer
can connect and access
the one LAN B computer
using the VPN, but it
keeps freezing up for 20
or 30 seconds for ten or
more times a day. After
the freeze each time
access does return and
the IP address is the
same as before. I have
run some extended ping
tests and it also
experiences periodic
packet losses and then
will resume with no
problem. I had Bellsouth
run ADSL line tests and
they reported no problem
there.
The remote
location has it own
non-static IP address
ADSL line with an
external Linksys router
and Westell modem and the
vpn is configured using
Windows 2000
Pro.
I need for
all computers to have
un-interrupted ADSL
internet access and the
remote to stay connected
for nine hours without
freezing up so
much.
Would a
static IP address for the
remote location help
connection
wise?
Any
thoughts, suggestions or
ideas would be greatly
appreciated.

Update
----------
One further development
is that I had all but
decided that it is a main
location inside wiring or
ADSL line problem. I had
planned to run a "Home
Run" wire and move my
ADSL phone jack to within
10 feet of the modem. We
decided to call Bellsouth
( the ADSL provider) one
last time and get one
last line check. This
time the line check
reported a "severe short"
on the main location ADSL
line test. They are going
to send a technician out
next Tuesday to run some
diaignostics and tell me
what it would cost, if
anything, to fix the
short. They claim that
the short is known to
cause the problem that we
have. We asked why this
problem did not show up
on the first line check
that I had them run and
was told that a
"complete" line check had
not been run so it did
not show up. We, of
course, expressed our
displeasure with that
news, but what can you
do? I sure hope that this
is the fix that we have
been looking for.
