There is no timeout on LPT ports per say, however, are you sure that client LPT redirection isn't causing the software to look for the dongle on the LPT port of the terminal instead of the server ?? Is it when the user leave the thing idle for 30 minutes or when a second user log's on ? What happens to the first user when the second logs on - does the software still continue to work ? -----Original Message----- From: jmeadows@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jmeadows@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 13 May 2004 07:50 To: windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [windows2000] Terminal Services Hi all Our terminal services clients use an image database that requires a license dongle. The dongle is plugged into our terminal services server (2003). We have a problem that seems to be caused by the printer port timing out? When a user first logs on, all is ok, but if the user leaves the software for say 30mins, they get an error caused by the dongle not being detected. Does anyone know if the LPT1 port does have a time out, if so how do I stop this?
