I am looking at this page: http://cryp.to/publications/masquerading-idle-connections/
and wondering if it's relevant. It seems to describe the problem pretty well, talks about a 15 minute timeout which would do it and the timeout is built into the linux kernel but can be changed. I'm really very weak on networking so I'm not sure what I'm actually reading or whether this fix needs to be applied on the server end or the client end. Any ideas is this is relevant? - Don On Sat, 2008-08-09 at 10:42 -0400, Jason House wrote: > I hit this problem long ago when CGOS was young.
