Disconnects on idle or randomly?

Post by aegrotatio »

I've recently upgraded to UltraVNC 1.2.1.1 and its Extras on the Windows 7 machines on my network.

I've noticed that after a period of time clients that are connected to these hosts get disconnected. There is no warning. It seems to happen if the client is idle after 5 minutes or so.

Is there a setting that is dropping idle connections that is not available from the GUI?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Nothing? I found the setting in "C:\Program Files\uvnc bvba\UltraVNC\ultravnc.ini named "IdleTimeout" but it doesn't seem to have an y effect. The screens just randomly log out.

It's hard to give an direct answer...

*Is winvnc running as service or application ?

There is a keepalive message, this is send every 5 sec by default.
This message should be sufficent to keep routers and ports open.

The viewer has a autoreconnect option, this should be able to reconnect incase the server restart.
But the problem is that we don't know what happen on the server site... perhaps activating the logging give some insite.
