It's likely your router or firewall's NAT timing out. In puTTY, go to the settings and select the "Connection" top-level option. There's a "Sending of null packets to keep session active" and "Seconds between keepalives (0 to turn off)". Set it to something like 30 and it'll work fine. -- Rev Simon Rumble <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> www.rumble.net The Tourist Engineer Because nerds travel too. http://engineer.openguides.org/ See, the problem is that God gives men a brain and a penis, and only enough blood to run one at a time. - Robin Williams -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
