Timeouts on XP

We have been using VNCserver on an XP professional system quite successfully
for nearly a year. The owner of the machine connects to it via the internet
over adsl in order to work from home from time to time. Recently we upgraded
to version 4.1.1 and at about the same time applied the recent service pack
to XP. Since then (I think) we have found that if the session is not active
(i.e. the cursor is not being moved around) it seems to time out after
approximately one minute. This happens to connections from two different
clients, one running XP and the other running Win98. Initially I thought it
was the built in timeout in VNC but this was set to 3600. I have even changed
it to 0 (no timeout) to be certain. Can anyone suggest what's going on? If it
was covered in a previous thread just tell me the subject and I'll look
there.
TIA
