I use IDL 8.1 having server license. The main server is kept at the main campus of our research institute which is about 250kms away from my desktop at other campus. So the desktop is always connected to LAN. But due to some local problems or some environmental effects this side of campus loose contact with the internet connection available from the main campus. This situation make us handicapped in using IDL. IDL session tend to re-connect for next few more minutes and then terminates. I request to relax these timings at least for a day time or few hours...!! This will allow us to be comfortable in using IDL and forget about these unfortunate conditions before opening IDL sessions.
