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 just made a move to the Boston area and am now telecommuting to work.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.
