Re: WDSC dropped connection

Hi Milan:

In the past I have had general timeout issues with the Cisco VPN client.

Here is a copy of my notes that helped stop the issue (I'm running WinXP).

Locate the VPN profile file (xxx.pcf) file in

C:\Program Files\Cisco Systems\VPN Client\Profiles.

Add the line:

ForceKeepAlives=1

Save your change.
Start | Run | Regedit

Drill down to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services/Tcpip/Parameters

Right click Parameters and add new DWORD value

KeepAliveInterval 1000

KeepAliveTime 300000

HTH,
John

subject: [WDSCI-L] WDSC dropped connection.

Hi Everyone,

I'd like to know if anyone has any ideas why my WDSC remote connection
keeps
dropping and if there is any way to prevent it. The connection does not
seem
to drop when I am on the local network using the exact same configuration
as
when I am at a remote network with my laptop. The error number is
"EVFC9104E" and the message reads "TCP/IP network connection to the host
was
dropped. This could have been caused by a TCP/IP network outage or the
OS/400 server communication job ending. The previous operation has been
cancelled and the RSE connection Bigblue has been disconnected. Reconnect
the RSE connection to continue working."

Is there a keep-alive feature or a port number that needs to be opened to
keep the connection open? I don't think that the problem is specific to
WDSC
though, as I have the similar problem with Navigator.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Milan
