The client can connect no problems, and also browse no problems. The problem is that the clients are disconnected after 3 minutes for no apparent reason. Usually the clients are not downloading anything at the time, so this makes me think that there is something that is removing the tunX devices from the kernel, causing the drop outs. The Clients are connecting with various flavours of Windows (98, 2K and XP) and the PPPoE clients are also varied (RasPPPoE, XP client). Has anybody experienced these troubles, or know how to disable it?
