Hey ~

Are you trying to timeout their connections or their sessions? If you are
trying to just force authentication again, you simply need to lower the
default session timeout ... Right-click your computer icon (IIS 5.1 and
below), choose properties, Home directory, configuration, and then one of
these tabs (not in front of a machine with IIS 5 on it) should have the
default session value (20 minutes).

I am not sure what WSS stands for.. sorry. I hope this helps..
