Bob, Is there any truth to the dual ports? and if so do they just both use tcp only?
Also.. I have just one client installed and it times out too "The server is not responding. You have been logged out." and I haven't even used it. Maybe the server code is not showing them as inactive but actually disconnecting the client. If this is the case then how can I disable it? I'm at my home office now via satcom possibly the higher latency is causing the server side to drop if not received? If so could they add a feature to not drop the connection until 'x' failed (timed) attempts. I'm having issues with clients not wanting auto launch outlook for obvious security concerns. Can IPSwitch use the default Windows email client rather than just directly injecting msimn.exe? If not then how can I disable it? I can not deploy this company wide until these issues can be resolved..
