I am new to configuring Cisco routers. I have manage to get a PIX 501 setup and the VPN working. The problem I am having is at seemingly random times the VPN connections drops. It is always less than the timeout period.
I can always reconnect right away after it has disconnected...
The error is always: Secure VPN Connection terminated by the Client. Reason 412: The remote peer is no longer reposinding.
In the client logs I get a bunch of these: =============================================================
