The networking device connecting the two computers is a highly configurable Cisco router and I am told that it was configured to act as a simple switch between the computers on the LAN. I would not be surprised if the traffic is routed up through the router and back down through the router between the server and client. Do you have references or what can I google to get more info on this? I will need ammo to convince the administrator of the router that it is their problem. I will try connecting server and client using a 'simple' switch. I do not suspect that the firewall on the server and/or client as there appears to be KeepAlive messages going back and forth. Three minutes seems to be a short time for a timeout. Why does the client rsync appear to be sending a reset? How can this timeout be changed? I did not see any option for this when I setup the firewall rules for the rsync connection. Also I remember testing this once with the firewall on the client shutoff, with the same results.
