I've noticed this in CentOS 4 & 5 and Fedora 5 & 6. If I'm in Gnome desktop and using any of the terminal programs and I ssh into any server, the connection just hangs. Not drops, it just hangs and doesn't recover.
These servers are all over the country on different ISPs in Tier1 datacenters. Some are in our office, so they are on the local lan. We have a mix of RHEL 3, 4 & 5 and CentOS 4 & 5 on the servers. If I'm using a windows computer with putty or SecureCRT this never happens, it only happens when I'm using any of our linux desktops or laptops. It doesn't matter if I'm in the office or at home (on comcast) or over at a friend's house (verizon dsl). This problem has been going on for at least two years and I'm finally fed up to the point where I might switch back to windows since 99% of my job is working while ssh'ed into servers.
Anyone had similar problems?
