Greetings - I have a small home network set up such that my wife's computer (Win 98), my linux laptop, and a linux sparc workstation all share a dialup connection managed by my desktop, which is a debian potato machine. I use ipchains to do this.
The problem I'm running into is that my wife's e-mail (which uses IMAP) often gets "TCP/IP Connection Dropped" errors. I suspect that these happen when ipchains times out her port mapping. Can someone help with setting ipchains so it never, or at least only after a long time, resets a connection on outgoing port 143? Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew J Perrin - Ph.D. Candidate, UC Berkeley, Dept. of Sociology Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA - http://demog.berkeley.edu/~aperrin [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED]
