Greetings Don,

Well I don't think it's the notification that's doing it as it's a standard toast. It's more
likely the change in the protocol as the result of the change of logging into the other
session.

I really have nothing specific to suggest, but I am curious if there's a router involved
here. If so, as a starting point, make sure it's updated to the latest firmware.

Also, can you reconnect to the VPN after it drops?

I don't really care about being notified that I am signed into WLM from 2
places and have tried to suppress the notification. Taht doesn't seem to
work, but that is not really my problem. EVERY time I receive that
notification, if I am working in an active VPN connection, the VPN is
dropped. So, (1) what should be 'fixed' so it doesn't drop, and/or (2) how
can I at least achieve the workaround of suppressing notifications ? Any
chance this is an issue of packet meddling by my access provider ?

Env:
Windows XP Pro SP3
WLM 14.0.8064.206
access: cable modem (TimeWarnerCable)

Many thanks.
