Another thing to look out for on a WinXP, sp2, machine is "power save

you may or may not have a tab for Power. If it's there, make sure the
"power down" is not checked - otherwise you're at microsoft's mercy
for suddenly loosing your connection because they decided it wasn't
really
in use...

I have 1 PC with which I log in into several AS400 machines, all thru telnet
on port 23. With some machines I can have a 24 hour connection, with others
I am thrown out if I do nothing for about 10 minutes.
I have checked and my network card has that "power down" box checked. So
that's not the reason.

check your pc, many have "sleep/standby" modes (IBM's are notorious
for
this) and so it drops the ethernet connection. You are all thinking
the problem is on the os/400 side of things, it could be on the pc
side of things. I just installed 50 IBM pc's and while within
windows I said "never" on power settings, there was a bios setting
to shut down the
hard drive after so long and another to go to standby. Once I fixed
those, problem went away.

You don't say if it is a hardware vpn or some dippy windows vpn, but
at
least on the hardware side of things there are some things that can
happen and the same with the windows vpn stuff. So you might look
there
also.

Same problem here.
I have a number of customers all with ADSL connections. I connect
thru port 23 using telnet. With some customers I can connect in the
morning and still have a connection by night, others will throw me
out if I don't do anything within 5 minutes, and that number of
minutes vary.
I still don't know what the reason could be and I'm sure it has not
anything to do with firewalls or other ports. Right, if I use VPN I
have no problems what so ever.

I have the same exact problem execpt for it is opposite of what you
are experiencing. When I connect to one of my remote machines via
VPN my connection is great, no problems. But when I connect witout
VPN I have problems exactly similar to what you described above.

I was able to get the ear of an IBMer and below is what they were
able
to offer me.

With regards to:
"BIGGEST PROBLEM:
I have a DSL connection and work from home 90% of the time.
When
I go
through a router WDSc seems to have problems disconnecting
frequently
which means I am constantly getting error messages while
saving
RPG
source members and compiling. I am wondering if it has
something
to
do with the firewall on my router and the ports that
are/aren't
open
on it. "

Check for any firewalls between your local workstation and the
iSeries server to make sure they are configured to allow the
communications through. This is because the product accesses
OS/400 servers.
Therefore, the ports that the server uses need to allow traffic
through the firewall.
The IBM Toolbox for Java handles the communications to and from
your iSeries server, using the following ports at
http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/toolbox/faqports.htm.
A firewall may be blocking the TCP/IP connection from your local
workstation to port 446 on the iSeries server. This firewall could
have been installed on the workstation, on the network, or on the
iSeries server. To solve this problem, you need to configure a rule
for the firewall to allow for a connection from your workstation to
port 446 on the iSeries server.
