Re: scp timeout on dual-core processor

I have the same exact problem as Steve:
"I have a (what appears to be) similar problem also with a dual core


(Centrino Duo) machine. My problem manifests when I attempt to paste in an
X window (i.e. click the middle mouse button). I immediately (100%
reproducible) get "Disconnecting: Timeout, server not responding.", and my
ssh session dies."


I just got a new machine with a centrino duo, dual core processor...

Just another data point.. If there is anything I can do in terms of diagnosis please let me know.

Thx,

If you are having this problem on a Dell laptop, then, as Larry Hall pointed out earlier, a software package from Embassy has been causing problems. As far as I know this was first described here:

http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2006-05/msg00790.html

You should be able to contact either Dell or Embassy for a patch
that fixes this problem.  I have applied the fix on several dual-core
Dell laptops and have not seen the 'scp-timeout' problem since.

Thanks guys, that did the trick!
