RE: flakey connection

The only thing I can thing of is that your IP address with your ISP just
rotated. I had a similar problem. Even though I now have broadband, I still
have a smililar problem, after 48 hrs, everything stops, and I need to drop
the line and reconnect. Good job that my gateway does it automatically!

Subject: flakey connection


Hi all
	Sure appreciate having you folks available..  I learn an awful lot
watching this list

I now have a dedicated dial-up line for internet access.  It will be a
couple years yet before we see broadband here... ;(

I have "installed" (that gets me in right? ;^) ) an up2date redhat 7.2
workstation.

A couple times a week my mailer fails to find the pop hosts and the
only way I have found to reset its functionality is to reconnect to the
isp.  Usually the browsers go down as well and can't connect remotely
with them either.  I can periodically get mozilla mail to connect when
kmail goes loopy but it too will fail eventually.  The im / irc clients
seem to be unaffected

I can restart the programs but it makes no difference.  I search
through "ps aux" looking for clues.  I don't want to disconnect all the
time.

Where do I look for clues as to what's wrong?  How might I fix this?
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Cheers!  Ian
