From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2-2 i686) Description of problem: After being connected to the machine through either rlogin or telnet, the computer will display the "Connection reset by peer" message. It doesn't happen during a specific timeframe or because of doing a certain task. It seems to be completely at random. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1.Just telnet/rlogin into the server and wait. 2. 3. Actual Results: Sometimes it happens and sometimes it takes hours for it to happen. Additional info:
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?
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?
