I'm having some strange problems with my TCP connection. It's on a
dial-on-demand setup and the TCP packets are sending 3 retries before
waiting (3s, 9s and 21s) but doesn't try again after it gets connected
(usually about 35 seconds). It times out after 3 minutes and won't try
again.
I have tried changing the value at /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_retries1 to
more than 3, but it seems to have no effect.
I'm running debian 2.2 although it's more or less a woody distro these
days. Kernel is 2.4.3.
Any help is appreciated.
Regards,
Richard
