I would like to know whether or not you can specify a timeout for the enduser who might forget to disconnect. The client workstation is Windows 2000 Professional, and the server is NT4 SP6. Thanks.

Without knowing your VPN configuration, I can only give you an example of how we set it up.
We use Nortel Extranet Host & Client software. In the initial configuration on the client side, we specify an automatic log off for inactivity during core business hours. Outside of core business hours the logoff is controlled by the software on the VPN host.

We are using Microsoft's inherent Remote Access on the NT box. Would I be able to specify an inactivity timeout in this situation?
