  • The remote access connection times out.

In this situation, the connection is displayed as connected even though the IP address is released. Additionally, you cannot reconnect unless you restart the computer.  

Cause

This issue occurs because the disconnect process for VPN connections fail in the Remote Access Connection Manager service (Rasman.exe).
