the client (not in my building) - Is there any utility that i can use that
will ping the server every 10/20 seconds to keep the tunnel up - Please help

Any free ping utility would do, check on google for "free ping" which will
work, or you could even just do a manual ping from the command prompt and do
a -t at the end which makes it a persistent ping. You would have to close
the cmd prompt window to stop the ping.

for exmaple: ping servername -t

Hope tha thelps.

Try this:
@echo off
:again
ping OtherPC -n 1
ping localhost -n 20 > nul
goto again

BTW, what's so urgent about your question?

What the heck is this - is it contents that must be in a script file?

I have something to implement over the Net but the VPN tunnels that goes
down is hindering the process, so i need something to keep the VPN tunnels
up and i have notice if i do a simple ping from the client to the server it
brings the VPN tunnel back up.

It's a simple, humble batch file.
