I'm still stuck on this problem, but I have made some progress... I
apparently have the exact same problem as stated in this thread, relating
to android and their ppp implementation:
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=4706

Basically, a VPN connection is created, and maintained, but after passing
data over it for awhile, it stalls and data no longer transfers, however
the connection is maintained, encryption fails and you start getting tons
of "unsupported protocols" in the syslog on the VPN server. Disabling
encryption on the VPN server appears to fix this, however that's not a good
solution, the odd thing is I'm having this problem with a Windows XP and
Windows 7 workstation (client) (same house hold), the only thing I can
think of is that the modem for the internet connection is faulty, however
the ISP wont replace it since the internet is working.

Any suggestions anyone on what might be happening exactly? Or a way to
prove it's the modem?
