If this is possible, then it could probably be the case, since the problems appeared after moving to a different ADSL connection (using a different ADSL router) -- but last time such a problem appeared with this router, this was just a coincidence. > I'd added the following line to /etc/init.d/networking: > > networking: # set keepalives to 5 minutes rather than 3 hours > networking: echo 300 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_keepalive_time > > ...to counter a similar problem. But the problem with keepalive is that the ssh connection is dropped after an ADSL reconnection (every 24 hours).
