VPN via ADSL: connection hangs
I'm clueless.
I'm trying to connect via VPN to our corporate network using an ADSL connection. My system is Win XP Servicepack 2, and the VPN connection is L2TP-IpSec, I use a SpeedTouch 510 modem.
I can successfully connect and open an ssh-connection (using cygwin) to one of the local servers - but after a short time the connection hangs, e.g. I issue an 'ls' (unix-style) and some lines are returned and than it stops dead. But the VPN connection still lives and I can open up another ssh session - which will die the same way soon after.
As far as I know the MTU size is set correctly by the firewall. I was told that it's not necessary to change settings on my local machine. The VPN setup works for other people - but I'm the only one using ADSL. I'm far from an expert with VPN and I would appreciate any hints to get this running.
Thanks in advance, Stephan
