    These two things are totally different, Connection timeout is the maximum time a connection can be kept open before it is terminated.

    A Session timeout is the amount of time a session is kept alive before it is abandoned.

    Update as requested

    I think the OP is refering to Connection Timeout as in this image, rather than the classic asp session timout that is refered to in your link, this is how long a connection to the server wll be kept open, or another way of thinkning about it would be how long a request is allowed to take to execute..
