Good morning,
i am quite perplexed with this problem. i am using cygwin on an old
Pentium Pro with 128M RAM. i use cygwin to connect to my Redhat 7.3 box. i
am using this setup on a couple of other machines (one a p-III and one P-133
each connecting to a different Redhat 7.3 box)
The problem here is that after an apparently arbitrary period of time, my
Xwindows sessions freezes. As i move my mouse over the window, the display
refreshes. Once i stop moving the mouse the refreshes stop. This will
continue for about 10 seconds after which the Xwindows session just closes.
i am using the clock tick as an indicator of refresh.
Additionally, when the Xwindows session dies, so does the rest of my
network connection from the win95 box. i am not sure whether the connection
is flooded or lost, either way i cannot see other machines on the network
(ping fails) nor can i surf the web. Killing the Xwindows session and
restarting it corrects the problem.
There is a firewall between boxes but i just don't think that this is the
problem as all i have to do is close the Xwindows session to regain my
network.
Any advice would be appreciated.
later,
dean
