new 2830Vn - can't use my work VPN was created by pedalhead
Hi all. I've been using my new Vigor2830Vn for the past week or so, and I'm consistently getting a weird issue. General Internet access is all fine, but there's a problem with one of my work VPN connections (I have two, to different companies, one works perfectly ok). Basically, the problematic vpn connects just fine...and indeed doesn't actually drop, but after a few minutes of being connected (and having perfectly fine network access to the remote end), remote network access just disappears. Again, the vpn doesn't drop, but the only way to get it actually working again is to manually reconnect the vpn, which again then lasts for a few minutes (sometimes 2, sometimes 10), and then stops working. Rinse / repeat.

I've narrowed this down to the Draytek router as a crappy old Netgear works just fine. I've tried putting the offending laptop into the Vigor's DMZ, but the problem remains. Any thoughts please? Cheers.
