site-to-site-vpn

We are experiencing some strange behavior with a site-to-site IPsec VPN that goes down about every week for 30 minutes (Iam told 30 minutes exactly).

I don't have access to the logs, so it's difficult to troubleshoot.

What is also strange is that the two VPN devices are set to use SHA hash algorithm but apparently end up agreeing to use MD5.

Does anybody have a clue? or is this just insufficient information?
