Problem with Apache on Win XP Pro w/dyndns

Works on XP Home, 'sleeps' after awhile on XP Pro

## I've installed an SSL Apache (1.3.33) in windows xp pro and the fact is that the site works good if I connect from everywhere. The problem is that after a period of time of inactivity in the server, when trying to connect, the client navigator shows me the error message that the page is not available.

The server seems as if it fallen asleep (all energy options are disabled in case it has something to do with the problem).

When it works, usually, someone has connected to the Internet from inside the LAN (see more details below). I don't know how but the Internet (or the server) seems to wake up and anyone from any other computer from outside the LAN can connect with no problems.

## Another test and a surprising result. I've installed the server in a Windows XP Home and no problem, the server (or the Internet) doesn't get asleep and the site works good.

What happens?
I'd like to install the server in Windows XP pro

More details:
- URL is [example.dyndns.org...]
- The schema for the LAN is similar to this:
Internet - Router - PCserver(with the website) - HUB - PC 0, PC 1, 2, 3
...
Very very low traffic into the LAN; Three PCs
- apache is listening in the appropiate port: 443 and has the
virtualserver configured in a similar way to this:
<VirtualHost 192.168.1.10:443>
ServerName example.dyndns.org
...
</VirtualHost>
- I have the appropiate portforward in the router: LAN IP address is
443, TCP protocol, LAN and public ports are 443

thanks in advance!
