[mdlug] Mint 6, SSH and disconnects

[Brandon]

My ISP is WideOpenWest and I have cable internet access they have been 
fairly lenient in the past but this is my first attempt to use SSH.  I 
have Firestarter installed so I can look for any rules regarding port 
timeouts.  If it's the ISP resetting the connection shouldn't I just be 
able to reconnect and be on my way again?  Why would network manager go 
into offline mode?
