Re: RDi through VPN

[Scott Klement <wdsci-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Problems with timing out over a VPN are a constant issue for me, to the 
point where I usually don't bother with RDi.  (Or, if I really need the 
features, I FTP the files to my PC, and edit them from there.)

These problems only happen with RDi, not any other software I've used.   
No problems with Client Access, for example, even though it keeps open a 
static connection at all times.   I have a few other programs as well 
that keep connections open that never time out. (As well as programs 
that do not.)

I've had this problem with versions 7.5, 8.0. 8.5 and 9.0.   And when I 
asked for help on this list, I really got nothing useful except "upgrade 
to a newer VPN"  -- which I can't do, I have no control over the VPN...  
and since other software doesn't have this problem, the company doesn't 
believe the VPN is the problem.

I'd love to have a solution -- if you find one, please post it!

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.
