scsi050 Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 I'm running the remote desktop server on a win2k3 machine that uses PPPoE. I can connect to this machine over the internet from another machine (the client) through the pppoe connection, but when I go to logoff during the remote desktop session, it disconnects that pppoe connection as well. Is there a way to make the pppoe connection a service so that it will keep running, or what is even causeing the problem?
FAT64 Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 Freaky, I've never known RDP to disconnect an Internet connection!
ixion Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 (edited) the immediate solution is to disconnect from the session rather than logging outis ppoe a dial-up connection? (uses dial-up networking?) Edited September 15, 2005 by ixion
scsi050 Posted September 15, 2005 Author Posted September 15, 2005 Disconnecting is the only real solution i guess, but then the system can't release any of the resources dealing with the session because it's actually still running. Also, PPPoE is more a dial-up connection then a cable modem or a normal dsl. I have to sign in just like dial-up. Basically, it's fast dial-up. I'm playing around with a "connection keeper" so maybe that will fix the problem...
ixion Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 yeah so the problem is obvious in that when you logout it closes any existing dial-up connections. Perhaps you should install routing and remote access (built into windows server) and configure your PPOE connections from within there, this will pass your dial-up configuration to services
