[CLUE-Tech] ssh session freezing

[adam]

Whoa! Another person with the very same problem!

I had the same problem running slack 7.0 on a Pentium 120, with a
Intel-based COMPAQ server NIC.  I never found the problem.  I doubt it's the
router; mine was some joining of the NIC and the motherboard.  Once I
changed hardware (the mobo is different) it works fine.  If you find a
solution, let me know, I'd like to know what caused that.  It's the darndest
thing.  Same hardware, 'cept for the mobo.  Tried reinstalling on the orig.
hardware, did the same thing.

Subject: [CLUE-Tech] ssh session freezing


Hi Folks,

I have a DSL Cisco 678 router set up to allow me to ssh into my box at
home (from anywhere outside of the home).  Here's the problem and symptoms:

* Connects fine.  I'm off to the races running commands, etc. on my home
box.

* Every 2-5 minutes: the connection freezes.

* If I'm lucky and patient: the connection will unfreeze on its own.
This doesn't happen often.

* Always:  If I start a second ssh session, the first session
un-freezes.  I don't even have to log in with the second
session.  The first session typically unfreezes around the time
the second session prompts for a password.

I know of one other person who has this same problem.  He has resorted
to opening a second xterm and putting ssh into a while loop to keep
his first ssh session from freezing.

I have CBOS 2.4.1 and am waiting for access to Cisco's site to upgrade
my CBOS, but I'm not optimistic that will solve the problem because
I came across a 2-year old post to some other users group describing
nearly the exact same thing.

Anybody know what's going on here?
Thanks,
