Hello,
I have had a home server set up for my web development work, and it has been working very well until recently. Here is my situation.
I have a server set up and use no-ip.com for DNS services. I have been using ssh to administer remotely, and sshfs to mount the files I am working on onto my laptop. This has all been working really well until recently.
The server is Ubuntu Server 10.04 and my local machine is openSUSE 12.1
Today the problem was particularly bad, every time I mounted my remote files with sshfs, after about a minute, whatever app I was using to edit text files would hang, and my terminal would have as soon as I typed in the folder name where the files were mounted and tried to do anything with that folder (such as cd into it, fusermount -u unmount it or even try to tab-complete the nae of the folder)
After this going on for a while, I replaced the domain name from no-ip.com with the local IP address (fortunately I was working from home today) and now it is as solid as a rock.
Can anyone help me figure out why this is happening, or at least direct me to some resource where I can start t figure it out (I am not even sure what I should be searching for). I am not an admin, but I do need to keep my test server up and running for my web development work, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
[edit] I should add that I am not experiencing the same problem over port 80, only with 22
