Hello, I have a problem with ssh. Usually I work connected to several machines from a PC with openSUSE 10.2. But when I do the some from my laptop the connection is closed after some time of inactivity. The message I get in the terminal is: Read from remote host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx: Connection reset by peer Connection to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx closed.
How can I tell to my laptop: don't close connection!
Thank you.
You did not say anything about your network. Is this a local LAN or is it a ssh connection over the internet? Wired or Wireless? What kind/size/speed? In my experience this has always been a network issue. As far as I know there's nothing ssh can do about it. At my office I have had internet service from several difference companies. The amount of time/frequency with which I would get dropped varied widely between the different companies (latency did too). If it's the Internet I would suggest you bug your internet provider. Most of them are not helpful or sympathetic at all, you might have to really struggle to get them to do anything about it. If you're using a modem you probably won't get help at all (consider broadband). If you're having this problem on your wired LAN, you have bad hardware or bad cables. If you're having this problem with wireless . . . either get a wired LAN or talk to someone else ;-) JW -- ---------------------- System Administrator - Cedar Creek Software http://www.cedarcreeksoftware.com http://jwadmin.blogspot.com/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
