you might also try using some sort of VPN solution; depending on distance, setting up pptp might not be a bad idea anyways. The overhead can hit 5% or even 10%, but the added security and error correction makes it well worth it, especially over a potentially buggy connection such as yours.
I've personal experience with using a pair of Netopia R910 routers; they're bloody cheap and approaching wire speeds on their ports, which is no small feat when you consider they're less than $150 a pop. If they're in the same room, however...just get a decent pair of 10/100 cards and make a nice crossover cable. Please. It's the right thing to do. hth Dan ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alexander Newald" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, April 21, 2004 6:36 PM Subject: unstable mysql connection > Hello, > > I've an application client that stores it's data in a mysql server.
