What mechanism is being used to assign your PC a network address (ip?). If it is the commonly used DHCP protocol, it
could be that the lease on your ip is expiring after 6 hours.

Hello
I had installed Xfree86 for connecting to a remote host , for
simulation as a foreground job in my PC. I have been noticing that the
X window remains open for about 6 hrs , after which it disconnects
itself automatically(the Screen is Still and doesnt work ..if i move the
mouse of the X window the applications inside disappear and no X window
Icon is found .) from the server and my Job is lost.
Also,interestingly ..my internet stops functioniing at the same time
..the X server connection is lost.
so..I have to close the X window of the cygwin to make my internet work
again
I tried downloading the new versions of cygwin, reinstalling X free86
and window Makes 0.80 thats available...but couldnt resolve the problem
Do you see the problem ?
Thanks
Vedanth
