I have my home PC (Windows XP Home) set up to remotely access my work PC
(Windows XP Professional). I am connecting using a DSL modem, a VPN
connection, and Windows' Remote Desktop Connection feature. I have no
problems connecting.
However, if I'm sitting at my home machine and leave it idle for 60-90
seconds (no movement of the mouse or keyboard), the connection freezes. I
can't do anything while in the RDC window. Eventually, I get a little square
graphic in the upper-right corner of my screen that blinks (has the
double-computer screen icon with a red X). I click the little graphic a
couple of times, minimize my remote desktop connection and then maximize it
again. Eventually, it comes back. I don't
have to disconnect and reconnect. I can minimize RDC and work fine on
programs on my local machine, it's just the RDC that freezes.
Any idea why this is happening and what I can do about it?
Thanks.
