PIX version 6.2 --> Idle connections die

[ForumKid]

If I have an idle connection from the outside to the dmz on my pix, if i leave it idle for approximately 10 minutes, the connection freezes and I have to establish a new connection.

I thought something like this would fix it, but this is not a valid command
access-list acl_out permit tcp any any established

I then tried this and still no good
access-list acl_out permit tcp any any eq established

Is that the right command to be using to not kill established connections?

I'm not sure this is your issue.

Firstly the PIX already allows established TCP connections.
Thus I believe your issue is not related to this but instead related to connection timeouts.

Instead try the "timeout" command to see if that helps. Info on that command follows:

I tried all the values but after 5 minutes, it still disconnects. I think it might be something else. It's definitely not the router, so has something to do with both remote desktop connection and a database connection on 1521. Doesnt make sense....
