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.
Cheers and thanks
Richard
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?
Are you connected via an ADSL modem/router? Maybe it is a lease time issue.
Hi,
Here is the print out of /var/log/messages:

Thanks in advance!
I don’t thinkdhcpcd is relevent to my dsl network. Could this be the problem?

Are you using staic or dyanmic IP from router?
Inspect /var/log/messages and find a message pattern which repeats every hour. Your DHCP messages repeat every minute and shouldn’t create the problem
