Hi,

the connection timeout in my IIS (webserver in a LAN) is now 600
(600 seconds = 10 minutes)

I want to set the connectiontimeo ut to 3600 (1 hour)
or
may I set the timeout for 36000 seconds ? (10 hours)

No. The timeout refers to the length of inactivity on a connection, why
would you want to maintain a connection that is inactive for a full 10 hours
or even a whole hour?

Are you talking about Session timeout? Please read this
and let us know
specifically which timeout property you are talking about.

As to whether it is advisable, I cannot think of a situation where I
would want to increase a timeout to 10 hours ... any timeout.

witch "time" do i have to increase ?

I can only guess. It depends on how the application code is establishing
and maintaining the login period.
If the application code is using Session ID to determine if a user is
signed on or not, then it's Session timeout you need to be looking at.
You definitely do not want to be allowing sessions to be opened for too
long because each session consumes resources on your web server.
In a LAN environment, I'm not sure why you are making your users sign
in. Why not use Windows Authentication and shut off Anonymous access.
This will not solve the problem with sessions timing out but it will
make things a little less annoying for your users.
