This is an old problem that plagues my Win7-64 machine with all client<br>
versions, but doesn't seem to even affect my Ubuntu machine (or any<br>
coworkers' machines for that matter).<br>
<br>
I'll successfully connect to the gateway, ping inside the network, and<br>
all is happy. After about five minutes, the connection will silently<br>
fail and pings will time out. According to the "Network" tab, it is<br>
still established, and the trace utility doesn't show anything but a<br>
bunch of keep-alives for phase 1:<br>

Also the "VPN Connection Status" on the Netgear admin page lists it as<br>
"IPsec SA Established". The connection won't return until I do a manual<br>
disconnect/reconnect.<br>
<br>
On a possibly related note, it's listing Dead Peer Detection as<br>
disabled, even though I've enabled it on both the client and server<br>
side. Any thoughts on that?<br>

Hi Aaron,<br>
<br>
This sounds like a firewall state expired which is odd considering the NAT-T keep-alive packets. If you start a ping -t to a host behind the gateway and leave it running, does the connection still appear stable after 30 mins or so?<br>
