Being a happy camper I try to ssh into my server after Freddie fixed the problem and, low and behold, I'm getting kicked off the server again due to server timeouts(again).
So, I'm checking out the first timeout message I got back from the server(?): connect to address 92.242.140.2 port 2200: Connection timed out and I notice the IP address. It's not mine!
A quick inquiry reveals that COX Communications is the culprit. After a little more investigation I found they (Cox) started a program (and opted me in by default), that hijacks a customers IP address if they intercept an error message being sent back to the customer.
If Cox is your ISP and you don't want them interfering with your internet activity you have to go to their website and opt-out of their Enhanced Error Results program. Just login to your account, visit this link: http://www.cox.com/residential/supp...rticleId=bd71bbc0-6446-11df-ccef-000000000000 and follow the instructions to opt out.
Yessir, pretty much the same. Good find! I was tempted to send CC that link but, since their the only game in town, besides satellite & DSL, I best not. Thanks again, Freddie!
