Thanks everyone. Your and John Ackermann's clear explanations make
sense because the gateway used to work fine - until it was updated. Now
it acts as if I cease to exist immediately after establishing a connect
into the TCP/IP system. Not sure how I can remote test it from here
(its not my gateway), and apart from it being SuSE 6.2or 6.3, I'm not
familiar with the architecture.
I will forward the info to the gateway owner and see if it helps him
resolve the problem. Strangely enough it seems I may be the only user
known to be affected, which is really weird. Maybe others simply have
not noticed ??
Thanks again, John
