Thanks to everyone for their suggestions!<br>
<br>
</div>
The good news.....the server is healthy, and I solved
the problem of the "ssh session ignoring me every few
minutes". It seems I made a mistake in the configuration
of openVPN in my new ASUS DD-WRT router.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>The better news....turning off openVPN on my router
also solved my intermittent LAN printing and scanning
issues.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
The bad news.....need to fix the VPN connection to my LAN.
I guess I will be drinking my Starbs at home for awhile!

Happy Memorial Day Weekend to all PLUGers!!<br>

<div>I have an old headless server running
Linux version 2.6.32-5-686 (Debian
2.6.32-48squeeze1) (<a

(gcc version 4.3.5 (Debian 4.3.5-4) ).
Recently, when I log in using ssh the
terminal window freezes for a few seconds,
then usually comes back. The command line
stops printing the characters I am typing,
the cursor stops blinking, and then after a
few seconds, it comes back. This happens
every few minutes, so it is becoming rather
annoying.<br>

<div>Here's the general list (some of which you have
done already).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>0 - Make sure that it's not swapping with
"free".</div>
<div>1 - Check that you have no ethernet errors with
"ethtool eth0" (or whatever your interfaces are)
and look for errors.</div>
<div>1.5 - Check '<span

Console','Liberation Mono','DejaVu Sans
Mono','Bitstream Vera Sans Mono','Courier
New',monospace,serif;font-size:13px;line-height:16px"> netstat
-s -p|grep "segments retransmited" ' for packet
loss</span></div>
<div>2 - Check "netstat -antp" to see what is
listening and/or bogging down.</div>
<div>3 - Check "lsof" to see what the system is
doing.</div>
<div>4 - Are you accessing SSH via SSH forwarding, a
different place/network or VPN? This could be a
MTU issue. </div>
<div>5 - Run "nmap $servername" from your system to
check what is available and listening.</div>
<div>6 - Look in your logs for security issues;
specifically access attempts to open ports;
firewall to only allow source and destination for
SSH, DNS or other Mail as appropriate.</div>
<div>7 - Disable your SSH timeout - just to be safe:
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://docs.oseems.com/general/application/ssh/disable-timeout"
target="_blank">http://docs.oseems.com/general/application/ssh/disable-timeout</a></div>
<div>
8 - Use a ping from your system to the server to
see if you can see latency.</div>
<div>9 - Use a traceroute/tracert to see latency
between any hop.</div>
<div> </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Use the Source my friend! </div>
