Description
Specifies the interval, in milliseconds, between keep-alive transmissions on a session. NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NetBT) sends keep-alive transmissions to verify that idle connections are still active. This prevents NetBT from inadvertently disconnecting active lines. Setting the value of this entry to 0xFFFFFFF disables keep-alive transmissions. This entry is installed with its default value during installation of the TCP/IP components.
Activation Method
If this interface is configured by DHCP, then a change in parameters will take effect if you enter the command ipconfig /renew at the command line. Otherwise, you must restart the computer for a change to take effect.
