Ever since I installed RH 5.1 when I connect to an NT Server modem
port and authenticate with PAP/CHAP the physical line connection stays
up as before (5.0) but any telnet session to Unix machines on the same
network time out on inactivity in predictably 2 minutes and 10
seconds. Since I had no such problems prior to 5.1 I'm wondering why
this is a different animal. Also it does not help to ping the same
server on a 10 second interval -- the ping keeps on going but again
any telnet session times out.

Would be glad to supply any additional info. I realize that this is
pretty sketchy but I'm not sure what sort of info would assist.

Thanks,
Kurt Berg

Are you able to ping any machines in the 2 minutes and 10 seconds?

If you *can* ping, I would suggest that you disable *all* compression on the
Linux box and try it again. I have had this problem with connecting to a SCO
box. I could ping, but not perform other functions (e.g. telnet).

Hope it helps,
Tom

Yes I could definitely ping to the same box that I was telnet'ed onto.

Is there some grand parameter to do this? If not where are the
several places where this must be done and how?

Thanks for the reply!

Sorry misunderstood message. Thought you could not telnet to your system. If
you are able to telnet properly (even though it times out) your problem is not
related.

Sorry,
Tom

Hey Tom,
I just instlaled RH5.1 on a new HD and I can ping it via my win95 box, but
I cannot telnet.
