Hi, I have 3 remote clients in other states that are connecting to my SBS2003
R2 server and if they leave the system idle for more than 5 minutes,
sometimes less, it disconnects them.
The SBS settings are set at the default settings, which allow unlimited
access all the time. Any ideas on why they may be getting kicked off after
such a short time?
thanks
 
Re: VPN Disconnects - Users on XP - Server is SBS2003

It could be that there is a router between your clients and your
server, which sees no traffic and decides that the session must
have ended and throws it out.

On a Terminal Server, the solution is to enable TS Keepalives on
the server, and this is accomplished via a Group Policy setting.
But you might want to check in the SBS newgroup if this also
applies to SBS servers.

For the correct registry key, check:
