Re: RDi through VPN

There are limits to how many connections a firewall can track. Increasing the timeout generically will exceed those limits in a large environment. That's why I specified ports and IP addresses when I changed the timeout settings.

Thanks Mike - I think we have our timeouts set pretty high but if I have a problem in the future I'll check on that.

I think the thing that frustrates me is that there is usually a reason why time-outs are set the way they are and many network owners will not change it on the basis that, as others have noted, other tools seem to deal with it with no problem.

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
