I have a DSL connection that requires a login and password. Everything seemed to go ok but after an hour or two I loose the connection. This is fairly consistent. I’m quite sure it has nothing to do with my provider. Any ideas? Let me know what information you require.
Have you checked /var/log/messages for error messages? Do you have xmit/rcv errors (check with ifconfig)? Do you have a tram which passes your flat every hour or other electrical hardware which may create any kind of xmission errors?
