Mediacom customers?

MannDude

Anyone else here a Mediacom customer?

I'm at work/the office and we have mediacom 105Mb/s here, but my idle SSH connections keep getting dropped after a minute or two.

One of my SSH connections is to tunnel my traffic from Firefox to a different server, and it keeps disconnecting it so I can't actively use it and the other one is just a connection that I keep alt+tabbing back to to do some work in between reading manuals. It's a pain in the ass to have to keep reconnecting them.

Anyone else experience this?

On ATT, Comcast, or any other connection I've never had this issue.

Have you tried setting ClientAliveInterval in sshd_config just for kicks?

@Ihatetonyy -- Setting it a larger amount for the user to have a slower connection and still have plausible connections?

I also have Mediacom, but have never seen this issue before.
