I got the bright idea to use Cygwin to run an X server on my PC, and then throw kicker back from my RedHat system so I could run Linux apps more easily from my PC. Works fine, but every tenth of a second I get some kind of handshake:
08:28:01.552295 IP 192.168.1.56.33279 > KNIGHTLEY.1F9.6000: P 1528:1536(
ack 6113 win 63712 <nop,nop,timestamp 21161239 590505> (DF)

(192.168.1.56 is the linux system and KNIGHTLEY is the pc)
anybody know what it is doing? Any way to suspend this traffic when I'm not using it? As a workaround I only start kicker when I need it.
Thanks.
