Why does SecureCRT timeout and close my windows on a communications event such as a disconnect or modem retraining?

Both of these problems are related to Microsoft's Winsock / TCP/IP implementation. First, neither SecureCRT or CRT timeouts or closes the connection. They are responding to a notification from the system that the connection has been closed. Second, other applications like web browsers can transparently retry failed communications because they do not have to maintain an open connection. This method is not available to remote logon sessions over Telnet, SSH, or rlogin.

If you want your SecureCRT or CRT window to remain open after the connection fails, make sure the Session Option "Close on disconnect" option is not checked.
