Ok, there's a clue there. The network at the customer site. Well, the
infrastructure at the customer site.

Reformat the server is a tad drastic. Sounds like a Microsoft Certified
Engineer type thing! <duck and runs> ;-)

There is, I'd bet, a network configuration somewhere that's causing this.

Have you tried, as was suggested, leaving a couple of ssh sessions (or
something else that connects and then sits idle) open, but idle, to see
if they disconnect as well?

I'd be willing to bet that a reformat of the server will not solve the
problem unless you reinstall Windows (?) and reconfigure it to not kill
dead connections.

The links I gave in my previous reply might give you a clue as to where
to look for the setting.


Cheers,
Norm.
