[NBLUG/talk] ssh behind NAT

It seems to me to be OS related, and not router-related. Does anyone notice
a problem if they connect to a machine that is not behind a firewall or NAT?

Subject: [NBLUG/talk] ssh behind NAT


I just put my home network behind a NAT Box (Linksys WiFI
switch/router) and now my ssh clients if left open die.

I only read mail in my linux shell, so I like to keep my ssh session open
all day and in my mail client (Mutt), but seems after an hour or so (not
really sure how long) I come back and I'm disconnected.

This is not a shell time out, the connection just goes away.  I read
somewhere that this does happen when behind a NAT box, and I thought I read
about a fix for it, but I do not remember what it is, anyone know?
