This connection drops on my DBA constantly. There are a few other remote workers who have some Oracle tools loaded on a work laptop, when they work from home they are often just trying to monitor the state of some of our databases. For me this is not a problem because when I have my tunnel open I am usually actively working throgh an RDP session, there is enough activity to keep the tunnel alive when I work this way, in fact I have never had an active tunnel drop on me. The problem is that anytime I am idle for more than just a few minutes my connection drops. I have no problems connecting and establishing my tunnel. I have remote access IPSec set up on this firewall and we use the Cisco Systems VPN Client ver. I have a PIX 515E Unrestricted License located at my collocation facility.
