Remote desktop timeout? |
|
|
Using NetMeeting, my remote desktop sharing sessions always times out
after approximately 20 minutes.
I am not being idle at all when this happens.
The timeout essentially ends the call as if it were hung up. There is
no warning message box. My computer just issues a beep and closes the
remote desktop window.
I want to prevent this from happening and need longer remote
sessions.
Can someone tell me if the timing out is normal behavior, and if so how
to turn off the timeout or extend the timeout period?
Thanks |

AFAIK there is no built in timeout in NetMeeting RDS - so I am not sure
what is the cause of your problem.
Is there perhaps something at the your or the other end that is causing
your periodic loss of connection (screen saver or ..?)

data applications not in a call |
|

Hi there
I have been using NM with same person for over 2yrs, gone from dial up, to
cable, to dsl connections (bw the 2 of us). We've used win 98, 2k & xp sp1 &
xp sp2 aswell over this these 2 yrs. We've deal with the bugs here & there,
things like "auto accept calls" not remaining ticked each time u open NM
(dang annoying) etc.
However lately the chat log dies after several hrs (and i have noticed if we
are transferring a file it also dies) when i say "dies" i mean .. the chat
log will have on the title window "Chat - Chatting with 1 other(s)" .. then
after several hrs be it while we r talking or if one is at work or sleeping
after hitting send msg the chat title says "Chat - Not in a call". Its
extremely annoying. The video still works (we dont use audio) so we can
still things going on but we just cant chat/send a file etc any more.
The other person is using xp sp1 & i am using xp sp2 I do know that
versions of NM are the same but the build # are different. We r both using
routers, using different firewalls (software ie: black ice, za) we have
trusted each others ips in our files anyway so that we dont have a firewall
issue. As i mentioned tho this chat - not in a call has happened now & again
over the 2yrs but now its constant but only after several hrs. I've googled
till i'm googled out for answers but seems no1 else has this issue.
I even (stupidly) rang MS in Australia for help and the silly assistant said
XP didnt come with NM I tried to tell him otherwise when he suggested I've
d/l it from somewhere & he was then gonna suggest I do d/l it MS.com (i
laughed bc i know u cant). And NO i didnt take up their offer to pay a fee
of $50 to have their tech help me further!
Hopefully some1 here can end this annoying chat loss.
Thanks in advance. |
