2003 TS time out
There are two laptops on the domain connecting wirelessly to a 2003 TS via rdp over a vpn. After ten minutes their TS session times out and they have to login again. Multiple wired workstations in the same office do not have this issue. I thought about hard wiring the laptops but they have no NICs. I can do a constant ping over the vpn to the server and there are no drops. I have changed the power settings on the laptops so they never go to sleep or loose the wireless NICs. Thanks
sounds like you tested for wireless and vpn problems with the ping. What do the logs on the TS show? Does the TS session "time-out" even if users are working, or only when idle for 10 minutes?
ASKER
Only when they are idle on the laptops. They can be idle on the workstations for hours and have no issues.
So it must be a wifi issue.did you check wifi nic settings?
ASKER
Yes I checked all of the settings on the NICs and there are five bars. It's a sonicwall w/wireless router. If the VPN was dropping out I would think all the users would loose connectivity. I loose no connectivity with a constant ping to the server over the vpn. The TS screen goes black but you can still see the rpd bar at the top of the screen. Tap the spacebar and the login reappears. The laptop desktop never goes to black only the TS rdp session. Loosing my mind over this one.
Sow somehow the terminal server gets instructed to catch some sleep through the wifi.
Does the wifi card have the option enable 'this device can be used to wake up' ? Try to disable it.

I did that also. May have to take my laptop over there and see is it happens to mine also. The two laoptops are identical and mine is different.

Thanks...I'll try it and get back
Silly question perhaps - How to I add this to the registry? New - Dword/Key/String Value ... ?
Thanks.
Thanks.
Could this be a wifi interuption problem, is the signal strong enough?
Also, what is maximum idle time configured in VPN?
