Gerry: Sounds like a firewall or network device issue. The change to FR2 increasing the length of time they can stay connected is probably a red herring. I would examine the network devices along the path to determine if there are timeouts or anti-idle mechanisms on any of them. Whenever I've seen this in the past and all of the suspect Citrix settings have been checked it always ends up being something external to the Citrix/Server environment.

We have a client with a remote office where all of the users get periodically disconnected from their Metaframe session if they've been idle for a while. It WAS happening about every 15 minutes or so. Today we applied and registered SP2 and Feature Release 2 for Citrix and now they can go about 30-45 minutes between disconnects. Here are the other details I have: 1. It happens ONLY when running published applications (full desktop access does not disconnect) 2. The Connection Configuration (TCP/IP) is set for no timeouts regardless of Idle, Disconnect, etc. 3. It happens to all users regardless of status (happens to me as an administrator as well as regular users) 4. We all have the latest ICA client 5. All published apps are configured to auto-reconnect on disconnect 6. All PCs are Windows XP w/ SP1 7. Server is Windows 2000 w/ SP2 and Metaframe XPs SP2,FR2 The only other "odd" thing about this configuration is that we're using the desktop edition (runtime engine) of Microsoft SQL Server 2000 on another server to host their data store. That connection appears to be working fine, though we do notice communication lags when we update the store (e.g. registering FR2 today, there was a lag of about 5-6 seconds after I entered the authorization code before it recognized the code as valid). Has anyone else seen this? If so, has any one come up with a fix? Since Citrix is closed today we can't call them for help. Besides, you guys are WAY better than Citrix phone support. :) Thanks in advance. Gerry L. Schmidt, CCA, MCP Olsen Thielen Technologies, Inc.
