Adjust the ICA and TCP keep alives that should help a bit.  Also set the
Sound quality to low on the server for the ica-tcp connection and =
disable
sound on the ICA client

HELP...

Ok, got that out of my system.  The story has change a little bit and I =
am
sinking waist deep into this Citrix stuff.  So, I went to the client's
server and ran the connection configuration manager (mfcfg.exe).  Set it =
so
no sessions should be dropped, etc.  The situation at my client's remote
offices has gotten better (they aren't getting booted off after 5 to 10 =
min.
of inactivity...now it is taking something like 15 to 20 minutes).  I =
have
looked at the client side as well and edited the appsrv.ini changing the
mouse and keyboard time outs from 0 to 300 per an article I found.=3D20

Does anyone else have any ideas to help this Citrix Idiot get by???  I =
am
just getting my feet wet here with Citrix, however the similarities =
between
TS and Citrix are there (not extremely close, but the knowledge of TS =
has
helped out some).  So, with that mouth full said, what can I do to make
these remote offices work correctly?  They have a solid connection via =
DSL
to their home office (384KBps bandwidth for three users).  So, please =
help
me!!!

Short time is about 10 to 15 minutes.  I believe it is caused by the =
timeout
built into the client for licensing purposes.  On this particular ICA
Client, I cannot figure out how to change the timeout to more.  Articles
refer me to a cfcon.exe or mfcon.exe file...the configuration program =
for
the client.  This program doesn't exist on the clients I am looking at.  =
Any
ideas???

Can we get a definition of short? IS it consitently the same time period
before a drop?

Right.  But he said short periods of inactivity.  I took that to mean
seconds rather than minutes, but that could be coming from my own =
situation
where that was the case.
