TS 2003 Loosing Connections

[Brian McGrew]

OK, I'll be the first to admit I'm not sure this is the right group to put
this in and I'm not the worlds foremost Windows expert!

I've got a Win2K3 Enterprise (32-Bit) running on a Dell 1400SC server that
is a terminal server with 10 licenses in it. Installed is MS Office,
FileMaker Pro and a few other very lightweight applications.

On another machine I have Win2K3 Enterprise (32-Bit) running a Dell 850 that
services RRAS. I just migrated all the RRAS services to this machine about
3 weeks ago because my previous RRAS/VPN server blew up.

My clients are loosing connections to the terminal server at random
intervals. AFAIK only the RRAS/VPN settings have been changed and not
anything on the terminal server.

Where would I start looking to track this down??? It's a major hinderance!

Sounds to me like the default gateway is changed for everyone as
soon as someone connects through the RRAS/VPN connection.

Re: TS 2003 Loosing Connections

Well, my terminal server has a static IP and does not initiate any outgoing
RAS connections nor does it host any incoming RAS connections. The RRAS/VPN
is a separate server.

In the past it all worked fine and when I moved RRAS/VPN to the new server I
made sure all the options were set the same.

What else would be good to look at?

Re: TS 2003 Loosing Connections

Sorry, I misread your first post, thought that you had installed
RRAS/VPN on the TS.
Maybe a networking group is a better place to post this problem?
