Re: [FW1] PPTP session through FW-1 hangs-up after 10 minutes

["Robert Rinnberger" <Robert.Rinnberger@FW1-NOSPAMmch.sni.de>]

Hello,

we still have problems with  MS client behind the firewall, which is always
disconnected from his PPTP server outside
after exactly 10 minutes, it doesn't matter if the client has network
activity or not.

The strange thing is, if the client uses a dial-up connection to the
Internet with a local ISP the connection works without problems.

Are there any timing conditions at the firewall which can be configured for
this type of connections?
Btw, we are using VPN-1 V4.1 SP2 3DES on a Solaris V2.7 box.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Robert
