Thanks for that. I also remote desktop into my own machines here in my office so I have to learn how to do this as well. I have a mix of Windows XP Pro and Windows 2003 here at the office. John W.

It could that the terminal service configuration is set too short. He/she would have to run tscc console > connections > (right-mouse-click) properties > session tab > check the Override user setting. At that point your login session timing can be set. If you can get your client to simply un-check the 'Override user settings' then you should have unlimited time. 2. Your user account on the server could be set for limited login times. Then your client would have to go through the Computer Management or Group Policy editor and turn off session limitations to the user account. It is totally up to the client to either do it or get their IT guy to set you up properly.

One of my clients has me timing out in about 5 minutes of inactivity which is causing a LOT of issues (it takes a LOOOONG time to reconnect). I go away to check an email or answer a phone call and I am disconnected. 8-( John W.
