If, by that, you mean that your node partner(s) are disconnecting after 
15mins, then yes, very likely.

There are two, critical, callsigns in DXVars.pm: $mycall and $myalias. 
They *MUST* be different (either radically as in 'GB7DJK' and 'G1TLH' or 
our callsign but with a different SSID eg 'ON4KVI-2' and 'ON4KVI' 
respectively).

If we assume the $mycall = 'ON4KVI-2', then when you do a connect script 
to your partner, you must login as 'on4kvi-2', not something else. Also, 
your node partner needs to have done a 'set/spider on4kvi-2'. Just in 
case it appears too confusing, you can login or do a set/spider with 
your node call in upper or lower or some mixture of case (eg 'On4KvI-2' 
will work just as well).

You can watch the dialog with '/spider/perl/watchdbg <partner node 
call>'. Paste the PC18,PC92,PC20,PC92,PC22 initial conversation on 
startup, together with any PC51s you see and we will diagnose your problem.
