That was my first thought. Either DNS or more likely DHCP supplying a new IP address. But these are supplied by the VPN server (Windows 2003), not the router. If I connect direct to the server (on the same LAN) there's no problems. A few months back everything was working great, I've stayed connected for many hours. But the router received a software update at some point (the web gui changed) when I think the problem started. It's not a huge problem as I can reconnect in 30 seconds, but it is a pain. BT are supposedly looking into this but I'm not holding my breath.
