Host unavailable when user is logged off

Question

I am facing a problem that I discovered while I was implementing a small client/host application.

The client side runs Windows 7 64-bit and machine never turns off but user is automatically logged off after 30 minutes of inactivity. When user is automatically logged off the host becomes unreachable, first I thought the problem was isolated to my application, but after som investigation I discovered that resources and vnc server is also unavailable.

The question might be a bit off limit for this forum but I can't find any reasonable explanation somewhere else. Does anyone know how I can keep user being logged off automatically but with the host still reachable on the network?

Answer 1

You need to have them as services.

Answer 2

Are you connecting to some port opened by a server/service which runs as the user? If so, that's the reason. To circumvent, you need to have the service installed/started independently of the user, for entire machine (using administrator priviledges)
