We use hardware to hardware VPN. Sometimes a ping to the remote network is needed because of IKE initiation. I handle this through a "depends on" ping.

This "connect via" uses the dial-up networking options of the OS. In some cases when we did a disconnect, the name of the active connection was not reset correctly, resulting in Servers Alive "thinking" that a certain connection was still active while it was not (and as such not connecting when needed). This has been fixed in the latest pre-beta build available from http://Beta.woodstone.nu Are any of using VPNs that are not using the dial-up-networking option to connect to a remote network? And is this connection done automaticly or do you have to "start" some kind of application to force the connection to be made? If the later is that case would this be something that you would want Servers Alive to do too? Dirk Bulinckx.
