I have discovered a really bizarre bug. I have two XP machines each doing a putty connection to my firewall. I am, then, doing a reverse server to viewer connection. Every thing works fine. Except when I try to minimize the putty windows on the server machine, so I can see the screen, the connection becomes what I would say is suspended.
Its weird, both systems keep running and when the user on the server switches back to the putty window with the mouse or task manager, the connection starts functioning normally. This can be done repeatedly. I think it's a putty, issue, but I ask here since many here tunnel connections for VNC and may have seen this. And it seems linked to VNC by the fact minimizing putty locally never stopped it, only the viewer minimizing it causes this. It seems that putty just stops, yet the connection is not broken. My current work around is to move the window out of the way, but if I right click on it, it stops, too. Now, this has been replicated with different server, viewer machine combinations and even DSL vs Dailup. If, this is not fixable, what other SSH client would you recommend which is real easy to install from a script. I use putty and vnc together since I place everything into a self extracting/self installing zip for clients to install their remote connectivity.
