  35 Services does NOT timeout form the network should there be inactivity... I do my development on Dalnet Dreamforge,
  36 and these services, and these services.
  37
  38 The problem is NOT with the IRCD of the Services. I know this seeing for the fact that I run my network on the
  39 192.168.x.x ip ranges, also all on the same machine. Currently my IRCD + Services is idle for about 15 days, without
  40 any splits, or ping timeouts from clients, or servers.
  41
  42 The problem however as mentioned, CAN be the YLine, and I so also suggest that you do NOT attempt to play with, or
  43 change those lines unless you are sure about what you are doing. The &quot;standard &quot; ylines stated in most of the
  44 example.conf's or more precisly, the one that comes with DAL IRCD, is more than adiquite for just about any
  45 connection to your irc server, as far as clients and servers go, and I do suggest that you work from defaults, and
  46 start modifying from there (SHOULD you have further problems or a need to).
