[Bug 206000] Re: network-manager-vpnc disconnects after about 5 to 6 minutes

[bb]

I tried 'vpnc -dpd--idle 0' option in both 9.04 and 9.10.  It does not
seem to work.  It worked fine in 8.10 w/ and w/o dpd-idle 0 option.

More detailed description:

1. I use vpnc --dpd-idle 0 myvpn.conf to get to the network behind a firewall.
2. Connection is made properly and I am able to access all resources behind the firewall.
3. After several minutes of inactivity my applications such as network drives, email, etc. stop responding.
4. typing vpnc-disconnect returns appropriate response "vpnc ... terminated" (this is same as when termination the vpn session within couple of minutes of starting it)
5. trying to access the web with firefox fails.
6. trying to start vpnc again fails.
7. restarting the computer allows for everything to function properly again.
8. what also seems to work w/o restarting the computer is deleting resolv.conf in /etc directory and regenerating it with a sudo ln -s /etc/resolvconf/run/resolv.conf
9. however, even after following step 8 the same problem occurs after several minutes of inactivity after logging back in.

Hardware:

HP pavilion w/ AMD CPU w/ 2GB of RAM and Nvidia gfx card 0.5GB of RAM
HP Compaq 6715b w/ AMD CPU w/ 2GB of RAM and integrated ATI gfx card

OS:  Only Ubuntu installed (no Win) - tried 8.10, 9.04, and 9.10

Software: vpnc always installed using package manager ony.

In 9.10 using - Version: 0.8~a~git.20091008t124012.f5b95a2-0ubuntu1 (network-manager-vpnc)
In 9.04 using - 0.7.1~rc4.20090316+bzr21-0Ubuntu2 (network manager); 0.5.3-1 (vpn client)
In 8.10 - no longer have it installed so not sure what the version was
