Good morning, i am quite perplexed with this problem. i am using cygwin on an old Pentium Pro with 128M RAM. i use cygwin to connect to my Redhat 7.3 box. i am using this setup on a couple of other machines (one a p-III and one P-133 each connecting to a different Redhat 7.3 box)
The problem here is that after an apparently arbitrary period of time, my Xwindows sessions freezes. As i move my mouse over the window, the display refreshes. Once i stop moving the mouse the refreshes stop. This will continue for about 10 seconds after which the Xwindows session just closes. i am using the clock tick as an indicator of refresh. Additionally, when the Xwindows session dies, so does the rest of my network connection from the win95 box. i am not sure whether the connection is flooded or lost, either way i cannot see other machines on the network (ping fails) nor can i surf the web. Killing the Xwindows session and restarting it corrects the problem. There is a firewall between boxes but i just don't think that this is the problem as all i have to do is close the Xwindows session to regain my network. Any advice would be appreciated. later, dean CYGWIN_95-4.0 SHE 1.3.10(0.51/3/2) 2002-02-25 11:14 i586 unknown
