Hi, A friend of mine complainted that sometimes his dialup ISP connection stays on for minutes or hours without any real connection. Recently I witnesses such a hang. He started with a www access from his W95 workstation with Netscape, diald activated the connection and all worked. When he closed his Netscape session the connection lasted (forever). I ran dctrl to monitor the packet queue and viewed that one sequence was restarted over and over (120 seconds timeout). netstat -anp gave: tcp 0 0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:1040 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:80 LAST_ACK tcp 0 0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:1041 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:80 LAST_ACK I appeared if some time-out didn't work. What's wrong or can be tuned? Tiemout setting, where? regards Kees - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org
