Hi again, the problem has reoccurred and i've tried it from my win95 and it won't go...so it must be something with my connection to my redhat box or the redhat itself...
I've tried your suggestions, Jason, but haven't been able to find anything out of the ordinary... Do you think it's worth installing anti-virus software on redhat and running a scan? If anyone has any ideas about what this could be, let me know and I'll provide config/log files as necessary...thanks everyone, Kevin Kevin Weslowski wrote: > Jason, > > These are really good suggestions and I would have tried them next...but I don't >think there's anything wrong with the redhat...I have a dual boot windows system here >and I usually use my win2000.
