Re: RDi through VPN

I don't know if RDi V9 is different from V7 in this respect, but I got frustrated with disconnections when I had V7 open all day. I had my network administrator (me) extend the timeout for port 446, 449, 8741-8476 to 8 hours when the traffic was destined for our iSeries. Obviously actual results will vary depending on VPN technology used, networks involved, phase of the moon, sun spots, etc.

Subject: Re: [WDSCI-L] RDi through VPN

Hi Kurt, I would be very interested in any responses. I work all the time through vpn and my RDi V9 sessions are constantly dropped if inactive for more than 10 to 15 minutes. I've gotten into the habit of stopping and starting RDi if I've been away from the session for a while. It's usually faster than trying to reconnect.

But I'd be very interested if anyone has a better solution.

I just made a move to the Boston area and am now telecommuting to work. I wasn't heavy into RDi today, and it seemed that every time I went back to it, it had timed out. I vaguely recall other complaints about RDi over VPN. Is there anything I can do to keep the connection open? I don't recall this ever happening to me when I would work from home on bad snow days, but it could be that I spent most of my day in RDi.
