hello list i run an old version from charles steinkuehler (thank you, charles) on my gateway/firewall - works perfectly. there are a couple of servers masqueraded behind it to which specific ports are forwarded to.
following problem occurs: host A from the outside connects to a service on the masqueraded server; host A disconnects (power off, programm shutdown, network failure) ; the masqueraded server keeps the connection - netstat says the connection is ESTABLISHED (as opposed to being FIN_WAIT2). is it possible that the firewall is blocking some sort of tcp or icmp communication that prevents such connections from being quickly identified as "not functional"? eventually these connections do get closed, but this takes time. are there some parameters to tune? i do not know the internals of the tcp/ip protocol well enough... maybe it is something really simple. hints are greatly appreciated. _______________________________________________ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
