Hi, Currently I am facing this issue with Window Sever 2003 RRAS Server using PPTP connection. PPTP client will not be allow any more connection after 2-3 week. I had tried restarting the RRAS service but it did not work. The server had to be restart inorder for the RRAS to take in new connection back to the RRAS server. Had occur for the 3rd time already as this isa new setup.

Hi Jeff-Qcs,Thank you for posting in windows server forums. Please let us know the setup for efficient troubleshooting--how is your RAS setup done ?--are there any RADIUS servers involved--What is the error message you see on client and also on the server end--Event id logs on the server would give us more info --how are you providng the Ipaddress to the clients --Any modifications done on the RAS ports ? / WAN miniportuse IASparser which gives you more information regarding the users activity http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windowsserver2003/library/TechRef/5859c567-8c92-4212-b461-87729bb5daf7.mspx

Hi, Sorry for the late reply. Please let us know the setup for efficient troubleshooting --how is your RAS setup done ? Setup to allow VPN connection only --are there any RADIUS servers involved Nope local authentication only --What is the error message you see on client and also on the server end There are no error log, just that the client did not manage to complete the dial back to the server. There is another issue on this is that after a certain period, the server will refuse any more connection. --Event id logs on the server would give us more info No error log available --how are you providng the Ipaddress to the clients Using the RRAS DHCP server --Any modifications done on the RAS ports ? / WAN miniport Nope use IASparser which gives you more information regarding the users activity - Do not have any IAsparse on the server
