   Unstable WLAN/VPN

   I have the following problem:   
      
   When connected to the Internet with WLAN together   
   with VPN, the WLAN-connection gets interrupted   
   from time to time due to physical properties of   
   the WLAN-Connection (high distance between antennas, also   
   termal effects/weather seem to play a role).   
   Those interruptions occur approximately each 2h.   
      
   In consequence, the VPN-connection gets interrupted   
   as well.   
      
   Whereas the WLan connection gets re-established automatically after   
   a few seconds, the VPN connection needs a password and username to   
   reconnect.   
      
   This is quite frustrating, because when i run some program(e.g. server), it   
   gets   
   disconnected after 2h, and i cant't use it any more without manually   
   reconnecting the VPN.   
      
   Is there a workaround? For example a script that does the job of   
   reconnecting the vpn client,   
   when the VPN connetion has been closed?   
   Let's assume, that security issues don't play a role.   
   I use the cicsco VPN Client.   
      
   Thx in advance
