The client side is a Linksys... The server side is a pix....

Interesting thread... I'm having an issue where client's will access a
desktop session through the web to one of the servers in my farm through the
firewall with a .ica file. It works great - but everyone in a while a user
cannot establish a connection and gets the 'citrix server unavailable error'
- When it is because several other people are in remotely with out issue. I
have actually received the error myself - try a different computer in my
house - I get right in.=20

Very strange. I am wondering if it has to do with NAT...

Open to suggestions..

Are the clients using a many-to-one NAT?

They are running NAT on between two locations.  I.E. they have two
firewall/routers that connect each respective location to highspeed DSL
Internet connections.

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.=3D3D3D3D20

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.
