Greetings, I am running: ppp-2.3.11-7 ftp-0.17-6 netscape-4.76-1 kernel-2.2.17-14 It's a RH5.2 ->RH6.0->RH6.1->RH6.2->RH7.0 upgraded system. I can browse the net all day via ppp with no problems. I can run fetchmail with solid traffic for an hour with no problem. When I use ftp or http protocols to download anything, it runs for about 5-10 minutes than my /var/log/messages shows pppd[99999] Hangup (SIGHUP). It happens accessing many different ftp sites. When I do an etheral trace on the packets, the last packet from my ISP has the FIN, PUSH and ACK bits set. My knowledge of IP is somewhat limited, but a cursory reading of the manual indicates that FIN wants the session to shutdown. I have MTU and RTU set to 1500. I can use ftp and http protocols just fine on windows (sorry, to even mention that awful word, but I wanted to make sure it wasn't my modem or my ISP). Any ideas or debugging tips would be appreciated. I realize this probably is more appropriate on the redhat-ppp list, I posted there about a week ago and got no responses. It's a bummer not being able to download rpms. Thanks.
