I have a customer that has thier drives being disconnected when they
are not used for a certain amount of time. However if they click on the
drive letter, the connection will come back. They claim that this is
causing problems with some of the client/server apps they have.
This is a mixture of WIN95, WINDOWS NTW and WFW3.11/PATHWORKS clients.
I believe that I have traced the problem down to being a TCPKEEPALIVE
value in protocol.ini, my problem is that I need to know where to place
this parameter in the PROTOCOL.INI file. I assume that it is in a TCP/IP
section but the WINDOWS95 clients and WINDOWS NT clients do not have this
section. Maybe it should be in the registery somewhere?
I have search Microsoft Knowledge Base but can't find any specifics on
how to implement this.
Does anyone have anymore information on this?
Thanks,
Kevin

Which apps are these? Perhaps the apps need to be "retrained."

There is a KeepAliveTime under Tcpip\Parameters.
Value type: Reg_dword - time in milliseconds
Valid Range: 1-0xFFFFFFFF
Default is 2 hours (7,200,000)
Description: The parameter controls how often TCP attmepts to verify
that an idle connection is still intact by sending a keep alive
packet. If the remote system is still functioning, it will acknowledge
the keep alive transmission. Keep alive packets are not sent by
default. This feature may be enabled on a connection by an
application.
There is a related KeepAliveInterval
Value type: Reg_dword - time in milliseconds
Valid Range: 1-0xFFFFFFFF
Default: 1000 (one second)
Description: This parameter determines the interval between keep alive
retransmissions until a response is received...The connection will be
aborted after the number of retransmissions specified by
TcpMaxDataRetransmissions have gone unanswered.
