Re: WDSC dropped connection.

Milan

When I get that message, I NEVER click "Reconnect" - it never works for what I want to do. Clicking "OK" usually results in better recovery. Then if I need to do the save again, or other actions, WDSC often has an auto-saved copy.

This happens to me on our local network when I have WDSC open in the TurnOver perspective but have been working in other apps for some time - the server jobs seem to end after a while.

Hi David,

I've never been able to time it exactly, but it's very short. About 5-10
minutes. I'm connected using the publicly accessible IP address of the
machine. I am not aware of when the connection disconnects, I only know when
I trigger an action in WDSc that requires communication with the server such
as browsing to an IFS folder or saving an opened file. WDSc brings up a
dialog that says "Ok/Reconnect/Cancel". The annoyance becomes when you say
"Reconnect" durring a file save operation. The connection is reestablished,
but the file isn't saved (Even though WDSc show it as saved/without an '*'
next to the filename).

One thing I have noticed is that in Navigator if I browse to Network >
TCP/IP Configuration > IPv4 > Connections, I can see that my external
connections have a state of "Time-wait" an Opening Type of "Passive". Just
wondering if this has anything to do with it. I'm certainly no guru in this
area. =)

How often does this happen? Is it more than once a day? How are you
connected to the remote network? VPN? Is your remote connection
dropping & reconnecting?

Any chance someone (or some process) is ending the host servers?
