RE: Telnet sessions disconnecting -- Any Solution yet?

Jim:
My router does not block any ports.  I do get a DNS lookup, if I ping a
domain name, I do get a lookup to the IP address and the pings are
returned.  I have also verified that the drop session only with a host
NAME and not with an IP address happens if I am connected via VPN or
not.  Perhaps I can try to put my laptop into the DMZ of the router and
see if that changes anything.  I'll report back.

Carl - is your router or any firewall blocking ports?
Need port 53 for DNS.This is a list of common (not Client Access) ports
See Client Access home page for CA ports 7 (Echo) 21 (FTP) 23 (TELNET)
25 (SMTP) 53 (DNS) 79 (Finger) 80 (HTTP) 110 (POP3) 119 (NNTP) 161
(SNMP) 162 (SNMP Trap)

Check out this site - has lots of info on dsl setups. From main page
select "Routers" in left box and has specific Linksys info. Also has a
Tests & Tools section. http://www.dslwebserver.com/

still looking for an answer (but my cable modem works fine & always has
with Client Access) jim franz

Hi Jim:
Not sure if you saw my last post, that when I connect via IP address
rather then name to my AS400 it does not time out.  I have had an
inactive session connected now for about 6 hours.  Still going thru the
same linksys/DSL connection I spelled out in a prior post. This is too
weird.  Can anyone else out there verify or refute the idea that
connecting via a host name, rather than an IP address is a problem. cjg

Carl - I think you would be the perfect candidate for IBM. They need
resolve this, even if another vendor's product is at fault. Just like
all their work mapping various printer data streams and documenting it,
this is a good thing to do. The following IBM Knowledge Base doc
describes telnet timemark and how to adjust.
