yesthattomI have a Win2k system at home. It constantly drops TCP connections. For some reason I believe it is more likely to happen when I'm running Cygwin and doing network-related stuff with Cygwin.
Here's the problem. I'm not doing a LOT of network stuff with Cygwin SSH. I basically lose my connections every couple minutes.
I've verified that this problem happens when I remove my home firewall (a D-LINK DI-714) and talk directly to my cable modem. So that eliminates potential buggy firmware on my D-LINK.
I've been suffering with this problem for ages but now its really bad. I hate to start doing the "keep changing one thing and see if it goes away" drill, but it looks like I'm finally going to have to do that. Now, which thing should I change first?
