I work from home and connect to the servers at work via RDP, when using
my windows 7 PC and win8 laptop I don't have an issue but using linux I
have very strange issue. I am using Shrewsoft VPN Access manager (as it
accept Cisco profile files) to setup the VPN and to date I have used
Remmina and xfreerdp as my RDP client. My problem is if I leave the RDP
client for about 60 seconds without moving the mouse the client
disconnects. Logging back on again and I pick up my existing session
exactly where I left it (so I am been disconnected from the TS server
rather than logged off). This is not an issue with the company TS
servers as when I am in windows I can leave them idle for an hour before
they disconnect (thats in the windows profile), if I am working in the
RDP session then they work perfectly, it is just when I stop (like
answering the phone or going to the loo).
It is not the VPN as I was running a ping in the background to one of
our other servers yesterday while I had a RDP session running to one of
our applications servers, the session disconnected but the ping to the
other server continued without issue.
I have tried Remmina (with the RDP plugin) and XFreerdp and they both
exhibit the same issue so it seems to me to be a Linux\Debian issue.
I did try contact the Remmina mailing list but it seem to be hibernation
as does the xfreerdp mailing list but does anybody on here have any
suggestions, is there anything on the Debian networking that could be
forcing the rdp client to disconnect??
