To preface the question, I should mention that I'm currently residing
in China, so communication with the networking guys on this end is a
bit difficult because the communication algorithm typically begins,
"Step 1: Learn Chinese."
I am having difficulties with getting bumped out of an SSH connection
from a server in the U.S. with "Connection reset by peer" maybe 5-10
seconds after logging in.
It *only* occurs in my apartment; i.e., when I go to a local wifi
hotspot, I have no difficulties whatsoever. So I don't think it's
coming from my end, and I don't think it's coming from the server I'm
logging in to.
Some details:
1) To ensure that I'm not having problems with keepalives, I
configured SSHD on the other end very liberally (with some
impressively fast typing, if I do say so myself). In sshd_config, I
have
TCPKeepAlive no
ClientAliveInterval 15
ClientAliveCountMax 12
2) I then set ethereal running. Just as I got bumped, it indicated
Source Destination Protocol Info
(the server) (my laptop) TCP 22 > 1259 [RST, ACK] Seq=5357
Ack=4037 Win=63856 Len=0
I'm not a networking guy, but I think that means a reset packet is
being sent, ostensibly from the server.
3) When I get bumped, ssh -vvv gives the following
debug1: channel 0: free: client-session, nchannels 1
debug3: channel 0: status: The following connections are open:
#0 client-session (t4 r0 i0/0 o0/0 fd 4/5 cfd -1)
debug3: channel 0: close_fds r 4 w 5 e 6 c -1
Read from remote host www.bogusdomain.com: Connection reset by peer
Connection to www.bogusdomain.com closed.
debug1: Transferred: stdin 0, stdout 0, stderr 126 bytes in 17.1 seconds
debug1: Bytes per second: stdin 0.0, stdout 0.0, stderr 7.4
debug1: Exit status -1
If the reset is not coming from the server or the client (I don't have
any problems when I'm at a hotspot), where could it be coming from?
Thanks in advance,
-Collin
