I am running from an XP PC at my home office, through a VPN tunnel to a client's network and using Remote Desktop Connection to connect to my PC in my client's office. I get disconnected frequently every day. Sometimes every 15 minutes or so. Very frustrating when trying to get any work done. I also have multiple telnet sessions running from my home office PC to my client's Linux server. I never lose those connections. (Unless my entire internet connections goes down, or something like that.) I just attribute it to Remote Desktop Connection being a very touchy (poorly designed?) thing. It seems to be worse when trying to type things. I can read e-mail for long periods of time with no dropped connections, but when I try answering an e-mail ... So, you're not alone. I'm having the same issues.
