I presume you are referring to the setting in Connection manager to which Visti Andresen referred me earlier in this thread. The WLAN idle time is set to Unlimited. > You must be seeing something else. What AP are you using and what are > it's settings? What is an AP? > And what do you mean by dropping?

I went away for a few hours and found on my return that both the VNC and ssh connections were still fine even though the N800 appeared to be sleeping soundly. However, this morning I found that the VNC viewer had lost its connection. I did not leave ssh connected, but attempts to connect were refused. I also got no response to a ping. To reestablish the VNC connection, I had to restart x11vnc because of its annoying habit of terminating when it loses its connection. I'm not sure what I did to make it possible for ssh to connect again, but once I started using the N800, it mysteriously became possible both to connect by ssh and to ping. (And the IP number did not change even though I am using DHCP.) I have no idea what happened last night to terminate connections that did not happen during my afternoon break. I will collect more data. Perhaps others have had similar experiences that would shed light on the issue. -- Jeffrey Barish _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list [email protected] https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
