20 Aug '01

There was a query raised as to the costs of the Linux Professional Institute Exam. Details can be found at :- http://www.lpi.org/ I understand the costs are $100 US for the Exam and a registration fee. The nearest Exam centres are reported to me as being at Ipswich and Peterborough. John Seago (I've got the time to browse!)

How about: a September meeting organised by John Woodard at Syleham an October meeting organised by Alexis Lee at UEA a November meeting organised by Simon Parkes at Red Lodge ?

Future Meetings

I wish to enter special pleading in the matter of future meetings. whilst I can walk for short distances, and even manage a small number of stairs, (though not necessarily at the end of the day, it would be much easier for me were the venue to be wheelchair accessible. John Seago

DOCTYPE is not inline because sablotron does not support that, as far as I can tell (although I'll try bludgeoning it later). Please adjust your validator setting accordingly.

Any way to "Kick" a TCP connection back into life?
by Steve Fosdick 20 Aug '01

20 Aug '01

Today I had a problem when I lost network connectivity with an open TCP connecting (doing an FTP transfer). When network connectivity was restored, the TCP connection remained connected, but no data was being transmitted or received. Openning a new connection (using FTP reget) caused data transfer to recommence so there was clearly no problem talking to the remote machine. I have also had similar experience when fetching a page or image with HTTP will stall, but aborting the transfer and reloading works quickly. What I suspect is happenning here is that as a bunch or re-transmissions fail, TCP backs off for longer and longer before re-tranmitting and gets to the point that the time being waited is ridiculously long. What I would like to be able to go, both to test this theory and hopefully solve the problem of it happening, is to reset the backoff timer so it goes back to re-transmitting quickly. Does anyone now if there is way to do this on Linux? Steve.
