Unrelate subject about technical help.

Sorry for posting the unrelated subject, but I need help on this.
Do any of you every have trouble with VPN timing out after about 10 minutes of inactivity with message "remote peer not responding"? Sometimes my VPN goes longer than 10 minutes before this happens, but usually after 10 minutes. "Inactivity" can even include typing a long e-mail in Outlook; very frustrating to have everything lock up while in the middle of an email.

I have disabled all firewalls except Cisco VPN firewall to prevent conflict, but problem still persists. When I look at status under VPN client, I see a lot of bypassed packets. Don't know if that is usual.

Does it time out everytime after the same amount of time??

Are you connecting to a Windows Server? Could ther be group policy / remote access policy on the server that disconnects ppl after a specified amount of time, regardless of activity?

Thanks for reply!
It does time out everytime, but sometimes more than 10 minutes before timing out.
I don't think it relates to remote access policy.

Take a look here:

There is a setiing in the linksys VPN config where there is a Keep-Alive setting, it might be something similar you need to configure for your connection.
