I just put a linksys router in place, so that we could use our

when I
had my desktop directly connected to the cable modem ...
I've looked at the settings for the Linksys, and can't find
anything that
might be related ... is there some keepalive that the linksys
might be
blocking, or something else that I can do to keep the connection from
dropping?
Some of the Netgear routers allow you to telnet into the router and
change
a config setting for the timeouts for specific protocols. But I've
never
heard the linksys allowing this.
You might be lucky and your linksys might be one of the ones that can
run an alternative firmware. If so, flash it to one of the open
source
firmwares and it should fix the problem.
You can also put lines like:
ServerAliveInterval 300
ServerAliveCountMax 3
in ssh_config. That will cause ssh to send periodic alive messages.
I use those to avoid the same problem.
