RRAS VPN drops connection after attempting to map network drive

I have a problem and maybe there is a guru here who can give me a hand:
What i have:
I'm running a win2003 server with sp1
i use it as my vpn server .
i use RRAS

clients connect fine.

problem:
once connected if client tries to map a network share the connection get's
dropped. the whole VPN connection get's dropped. i've tried looking at the
RRAS logs but they are pretty cryptic. not much help there.

I have tested more and found this out.
only this particular client disconnects after about 2 minutes of being
connected to VPN.
other clients stay on, with no problem.

it doesn't matter whether i try to map a shared drive or not it just
disconnects after about 2 mins.
turned off windows firewall. turned off norton AV. turned off anti spyware.
still disconnecting..

Is this client machine at someone's house when this happens, or in the
office? Have you tested it side by side with the others in the office? Does
it disconnect in the office as well?

No. i haven't tried it at the office since this is over VPN and the client is
remote. i'll see if somehow the client can brign the computer here . but
id ont know how good of a test that will be since then it won't be testing
over VPN anymore.

What do the event logs on the RRAS Server show? Any messages as to the
disconnect etc?

The test will tell you if it works in the office or not with the VPN. If it
is only disconnecting at the client's site, then it may mean something up
with their ISP link, or if ADSL, it is falling asleep, if cable, they maybe
having problems with disconnects, etc. It could be any number of things,.
That was why I wanted to know if it disconnects at the office. How about
taking it to your house, assuming you have a good connection at home. Does
it disconnect there as well?
