I have successfully set up Lan to Lan connections between our various offices but I don't seem to be able to set up a working Lan to Lan from one office to my home.

The connection only seems to work when one of my PCs at home is switched on. It will drop as soon as the PC is switched off.

Anyone know what could be causing this?

Both routers are 2830n.

One side of the VPN is configured as "Dial-In" and the other side, which I assume is your home network, is configured as "Dial-Out"?

If so, just tick "Always On" on your home router's VPN profile, that will keep the tunnel active from that side when there are no local clients attempting to access the office VPN network.
