Termial Server session interrupts

[Markus0815]

To provide external workers with office application functionallity we configured a Windows 2000 Terminal Server in application mode. We also configured port forwarding in our firewall to route external TS connection attempts to this server.

Establishing the Server connection from the Internet works without any problems. Working with the TS gives also no reason for complain - but, from time to time and especially when the user switches over from the TS destop to his own workstation desktop (ALT-TAB) the TS session is interrupted (not disconnected and still shown as active in TS Manager) and worse yet, a new connection attempt opens a new TS session.

All timers have been disabled in TS configuration and are set to override user settings.

Thanks for your help
Markus

Do they have any apps open on their own desktops at the time? IE for instance?
Could be IE trying to auto open a new connection.
