hallo!... i´ve got 2 pc (office and home).. the pc s are connected with
internet per netgear vpn router (both) fvs318..

pc s are working with windowsxp prof. ..

realized ip-update with dyndns.org...

using remotedesktop of windowsxp prof.

now, here is the phanomenon:
sometimes the remote-connection is working without any problem... also i can
ping the other pc..

other times i can ping the pc and remote-connection is not working, other
times i can not ping and not connect...

some time later... it might be possible to connect again... hm...

and all without changing anything!

because i get connected, the preferences and settings must be correct. i
thougt it could be an ip-update-problem... but i got an updater to ensure
updating... perhaps it has something to do with the domain?... actually.. i
don´t know why the vpn-connection works and works not ... works .. and works
not...

do you have any information that could help me to fix that problem?...

thank u tons

jo

If the IP address changes the connection will be lost. You have to
reestablish it manually even though you now have an updated IP.

What domain?

thank you for your help!

but if i have to reestablish manually... how can i do this ?... thought the
vpn-router does this job automatically... am i wrong? i set my
dyndns.org-adress in the router (for exp. "jo.dyndns.org") and the router
tells to dyndns.org the ip.. don´t know how i could reestablish manually...
hm

Just reconnect the same way you connected initially.

The router knows nothing about your connection unless it is a
dedicated VPN router.

That's not how it works. Dynamic DNS puts an agent in your machine
that continually asks "what is my IP?". The response is placed in
<jo.dyndns.prg> for others to look up. The PPTP VPN software only
checks for the IP when it connects, so if the connection is lost, you
have to reestablish it manually.

>don´t know how i could reestablish manually...

I meant "reestablish the VPN connection" that was broken when your ISP
changed the IP address.

You need static IP addresses for a stable VPN.

As I believe I mentioned, this is just one of many possible causes of
the lost connection. It is not very likely because once your ISP gives
you a WAN address, it stays for a long time unless you power down the
modem.
