ipchains problem
Greetings -
I have a small home network set up such that my wife's computer (Win
98), my linux laptop, and a linux sparc workstation all share a dialup
connection managed by my desktop, which is a debian potato machine. I use
ipchains to do this.
The problem I'm running into is that my wife's e-mail (which uses
IMAP) often gets "TCP/IP Connection Dropped" errors. I suspect that these
happen when ipchains times out her port mapping. Can someone help with
setting ipchains so it never, or at least only after a long time, resets a
connection on outgoing port 143?
Thanks.
