[olug] Husker Football Webcast

[Andrew Embury]

I have similar problems with Linksys hardware.  Using both the BEFSR81 and
the Wireless w/ 4 port switch my telnet and ssh sessions time out after
approx 10 minutes to 1 hour of inactivity.  Take the linksys out of the
loop and they will run for days.  I've seen many people post online with
the same problems but have not run across any kind of solution.

I went back to a linux router and only use the linksys for wireless and the problem was gone.  I really wonder if they have the wireless router doing too much.
