Network Connection Resets (SSH)

[Gordon Thagard]

Hi Frank,

I have experience with that sort of thing at another job using a 
Netscreen firewall. It would eventually reset the connection. Here, the 
only thing separating me from my servers is a switch so I don't think 
this will help me. Thanks though. Simply put:

Fedora Core 2 will not reset connections while Fedora Core 3 will.

Anyone have an idea what this may be?
