Re: WDSC remote performance

For the reasons of connections dropping, I always prefer a VPN connection to the office network - then Remote Desktop through that VPN - to my running desktop machine - which I can reboot if need be and get back to if needed. The benefit is, if the connection drops, my work is still there on the machine at work - if I run WDSC through the VPN and the connection drops, too bad - lost stuff. Yes, WDSC does some stuff to save changes, but I don't want to depend on that. This was the same issue with PC5250 sessions dropping when I lost a connection - would much rather run the PC5250 on the machine at work - it's just not as reliable over any Internet technology, in my experience. Local has always been best for me.

OTOH, I work at a customer site over VPN and have no machine there to RD to - it has worked OK - it all depends, I guess. Maybe on luck!!

Hi Dave,

I connect to some Sytem i with a Cisco VPN, and to most of them without
any VPN.
I wonder if WDSC uses a TCP server which time out value must be adjusted
?

Marie-Line,

Are you using the Microsoft VPN that comes with Windows?

I don't have any problems with the Cisco VPN that we use. WDSCi runs just
as well (or occasionally badly) as it does in the office. Since I
telecommute every other week that's very important to me.

I run WDSC 7 through an ADSL internet connexion.
It's ok for performance, but I got too many disconnections.
If I found the right parameter in the preferences, the maximum value for
time out is 600 seconds ?
What's curious is that the 5250 sessions running at the same time are
still up and running,
so I guess it's not related to the ADSL connection itself ?
