Description Martin Oberhuber CLA 2007-02-21 07:58:30 EST 
Open a Terminal View, connection Properties, Ssh connector.
The connection timeout is set to 0 by default.
It should take the "Network Timeout" from the Terminal Preference Page instead.

Comment 1 Michael Scharf CLA 2007-05-16 20:18:58 EDT 
maybe it should be a specific setting for the connection as well....
Comment 2 Martin Oberhuber CLA 2007-05-17 15:42:01 EDT 
Yes, I agree. Global Preference is not really useful for this since all hosts are different. The default value also doesn't really matter (30 seconds might be fine) since we hope that most hosts connected eventually do connect without running into the timeout.
Comment 3 Martin Oberhuber CLA 2007-05-30 17:10:38 EDT 
I'd really like to get rid of that Serial Timeout / Network timeout Preference settings since it absolutely doesn't scale with having multiple different connectors.

Instead, each connector should know its default timeout value and present it in the connector settings page. When the user changes the setting, it should be remembered (as memento or DialogSetting) and shown again the next time.

Is this something you can get done for 2.0 or should we defer it? - We cannot change the visual appeareance for 2.0.1 so I'd prefer getting it done.
Comment 4 Uwe Stieber CLA 2015-05-07 07:34:58 EDT 
Fixed with TM Terminal 4.0
