network connection failing

hi,

I'm setting up a home lab and I am having problems keeping my connection open on putty. every time i leave it for about 10 seconds and come back I keep having to re-connect. I'm more of a AIX person and trying to get more fimilar with Sun but some of the commands I am trying to run to diag the problem don't seem to be working. I prefer using putty instead of the vmware.

not sure if the dsmsg would be relevant but I uploaded it if you can see what is wrong.

I suppose you have tried the obvious things already, just in case you haven't:

what does

Code:
echo $TMOUT

return?

How is ssh configured? IIRC in /etc/sshd_config sshd can be set to close idle connections after a while.

I hope this helps.

hi thanks for your answer... i did try those things i don't have the output right now but I believe i narrowed it down. I believe its my bridged network. over this weekend I'm going to do some tuning Will post my findings on the problem.

I suspect its the networking just because its not just ssh, telnet rsh all timeout as well.
