	Linksys router often have a "max idle time" variable you can set in the configuration web page. I believe to turn it off, and be connected always, even when idle, you set it to 0. Setting connect on demand will not work with Sesame, in that Sesame wants a constant connection.

This is not a firewall issue. It is a router issue. I've found that most (if not all) routers will disconnect a TCP session if it perceives it to be idle for about 8-10 minutes. I have a client that uses Sesame over the Internet, and they kept getting disconnected. A couple of years ago, I finally had to include a button that they could click on to invoke some code that will repeatedly "ping" the server by requesting @ServerTime(). This keeps traffic flowing through the router, and forces the router to recognize that the connection is still alive. I'm using RunEntryOnInterval() to repeatedly run the code.

That can happen if the notify port cannot be opened by Sesame, or if it has been opened but will not allow a message to pass through. Typically this would be the port on the server, though it could be at any point along the way to the client, if messages are being stopped.

That must be a new feature. A couple of years ago, I couldn't find that there was any provision like this. Many others around the Internet were also confirming that there was no setting (at that time) to keep a connection alive for more than the default built into the router. Unless, of course, you were to flash it with a 3rd party firmware, like Tomato.

Look which browser it is. Maybe they got rid of an old feature?

	What model Linksys is that? I have a couple here, and none of them have that.

	Never mind, I just noticed that your firmware is from 2000! So, you obviously have a pretty old Linksys. I don't think the new ones have that feature. Plus, I think that timeout is related to the PPPoE connection, isn't it? Because I do see a those radio buttons if I change my connection type to PPPoE, but they are not there with the "Automatic Configuration - DHCP" or "Static IP" settings.

	Not my router in the previous screenshot. Here is similar from my (fairly old) linksys router:

You don't think that is related specifically to the PPPoE setting? It appears right below the PPPoE login.

	Now my stupid router is not accepting my password. I was leaving the username blank and had to use password. It worked for years. Now it is asking for UserName and Password both. Thinking it might have reset to factory default, I used all combinations of admin and it still does not work. I think I will have to reset the router and open various ports and set max idle time.
