I just have got Vista Ultimate with my new system. I have problems connecting
to my workplace through SSL. Connection drops every 5-10 minutes. My old
system with XP is still working well.
Please help
 
Can you clarify "connecting... through SSL"? Is this an SSL-based VPN?
Which one? Or are you accessing a secure website, or e-mail over SSL,
or...?
 
This is SSL VPN I do not exactly wich one my company uses. I think it is
checkpoint. I open browser and type https://..... I get login prompt and I
login. Then I opent terminal services and I get to my work computer. I am
working with no problems. The only problem that it is slower then with XP.
Then I open another instance of the browser and search something on google
for not more then 1 or 2 minutes. Then I come back to terminal and says no
connection. I have to log in again.

I noticed that I even do not have to be away from the teminal window. Any
time I switch to local desktop and then after 1 sec back to terminal window
the connection is dropped.
 
it could be sharepoint

Okay, so you open a web site over SSL, and it has something (ActiveX, Java,
etc.) running as a plug-in on that page which sets up a TS session to your
office? I've seen a few of those before, though I don't have a convenient
one to test with.

That sounds like IE7 is not permitting the plugin to maintain its connection
and continue working when it doesn't have focus.... I don't know of any IE7
setting that would do that offhand, but it's possible. One thing you could
try, if that is the issue, is running IE7 with Protected Mode turned off
(under Internet Options, Security tab). I don't recommend leaving it this
way if you can avoid it, but it's something to check if a web plug-in can't
work properly.

If the latter fixes it, particularly, then your company should follow up
with the makers of that client to make it play nicely in IE7 protected mode.
