But why does this only happen with Rational Mike?

Like others I have had this problem on and off for years.

_No_ other software that I use - including two other Eclipse-based products do it.

For me the current version of RDi 9.0.1 hasn't done it yet. But all earlier versions did.

It is not just the VPN connection that can time-out the RSE connection.
If, for example, the VPN enters your company's intranet on one subnet and
the IBM i is on another subnet it is likely going though some sort of
bridge or router that can also time-out connections. If you do a
network trace (using Wireshark or the like) then I think what you will see
is a connection that the PC thinks is just fine having packets rejected by
the router because it has timed out and discarded knowledge of the
connection which results in RSE giving you the connection lost message.

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.

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 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.
