[JDEV] client timeouts

[PINSON Frederique FTRD/DMI/LAN]

Hi !

I have few jabber servers in my intranet, and never get disconnected
(unless particular problem).
But when I used my account on my server outside the intranet, or the one
I have on jabber.org, I often get disconnected...

This can validate the NAT hypothesis...

best regards, 
Frederique

No, the server doesn't need this, it's done because of NAT-Routers. If 
you are using a NAT-System to share an internet account between 
different computers, this system forgets connections without activity 
after some time.
