I've had problems like this caused by network-manager. It arbitrarily decides that a working interface doesn't exist and shuts it down. If your interface gets set to 169.something when you lose connectivity, that's a sign that this might be what's going on -- you could also check out syslog. Removing network-manager fixed everything for me. Daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
