Ok, I'm at home now, and i tried telneting in from another computer on the network.... It works fine. No disconnects. I'm using Road-Runner (Cable modem) to connect to the internet, the linux PC in question is the router (2 NIC cards, one to cable modem, other to LAN). Is it possible the cable modem is the cause? I don't understand what could be wrong. -Jeremy --- Mike Klinke <lsomike@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Friday 06 February 2004 12:26, Jeremy wrote: > > > > > > > Well one approach could be to monitor all traffic with the > > > remotely logged in host.
