Re: [JDEV] client timeouts

[Sean Kirkby]

Oh, I see.  that makes sense.  As it turns out, I am indeed using NAT in my office, and the server I am connecting to is across the continent, so this is probably it.   In any event, some sort of "keep alive" is needed in this situation, right?  Is sending white space to the XML stream every 60 seconds the best way to do this?   Is your suggestion about "TCP Keep Alives" targeted to this problem?   Thanks a ton.   --sk! >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 7/1/2002 2:26:29 AM >>> Hi Sean!

No, the server doesn't need this, it's done because of NAT-Routers. If you are using a NAT-System to share an internet account between different computers, this system forgets connections without activity after some time.
