if it shows up with telnet _and_ rlogin this seems to be a problem with a firewall in 
between you and the other machine (sounds like after some idle time it drops the 
connection.)
Is it so?

Comment 2 Need Real Name 2001-10-15 20:41:40 UTC

Ok... I am on the firewall machine and I connected to this PC directly and 
through another PC and it disconnected me both times.  On the connection where 
I connected through the other PC though, it only disconnected me from the 
computer having the problem and not the other PC too.  If it was the 
firewall... wouldn't this happen to anything that I connected too?  If this is 
the problem, how do I go about fixing it?
