Remote ssh connection dropping
Here is a strange issue, I have been facing of late. My router is setup to forward a particular port to my OUL box.
When I login from my home to this box which is at my office using a ssh connection with putty, it stays for a minute (even less at times), and drops off. I have made some changes to sshd_config etc., but don't really seem to have a solution.
What's worse, I have an Oracle db running on the box. There is also a small web application that we use for our internal needs. This is accessed by people on the road. Very often, they just get kicked out - not even a 404 - the server is not available. And it pings fine.
I have checked the /var/log/secure file - there were a couple of issues before that have been solved already (like having the serverlistening ip and port in sshd_config). Nothing shows up any more on it.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
