Hey list,
One of my imms has been having a problem with being disconnected from the MUD,
and I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this or may know more about
it than I do.
Basically, her connection to the game is terminated every hour, on the hour.
This only seems to occur when she's been connected for more than 30 minutes or
so. We also tried it running a copy of the MUD on a completely different
machine on a different network, and the same problem occurs.
She's tried several clients and stuff, and we've tried disabling her software
firewall and bypassing her home router and just about everything else I can
think of, all to no avail.
Running tcpdump, I see that the server receives an RSET packet from her
connection. She says that her side simply freezes up and eventually times
out.
After spending some time dealing with her ISP, we suspect it may be staffed
entirely by monkeys.
If anyone has any thoughts on what might be causing this, I'd be appreciative.
