Hello, I have a number of staff who use pptp links to VPN (Windows to FreeBSD mpd server) in to the Office. Some times when the link is busy the LCP echos won't pass over the link quickly enough and the connection will terminate. Is there anything I can do to prevent this, or at least make it less likely to happen. Options I have thought of are: Increasing the number of echos mpd waits before disconnecting. Increasing the time out for LCP echos. Using traffic shaping to prioritise the LCP traffic over other traffic. Are any of these possible, or is there another way of acheiving the same goal? Some example log output: Oct 19 15:18:38 billy mpd: [ng5] LCP: no reply to 1 echo request(s) Oct 19 15:18:48 billy mpd: [ng5] LCP: no reply to 2 echo request(s) Oct 19 15:18:58 billy mpd: [ng5] LCP: no reply to 3 echo request(s) Oct 19 15:19:08 billy mpd: [ng5] LCP: no reply to 4 echo request(s) Oct 19 15:19:18 billy mpd: [ng5] LCP: no reply to 5 echo request(s) Oct 19 15:19:18 billy mpd: [ng5] LCP: peer not responding to echo requests Thanks, Dominic Marks
