I have had this sort of problem in the past, with mdk7.2 up to 8.2. There was never anything I could find to explain what was going on. It didn't seem to be related to any firewall, although I have never used shorewall. For me, the conditions that caused it were: 33k modem connection; heavy local CPU load.
With a faster modem connection, it never happened. And, since I changed ISP, I always get a faster connection, so it's not a problem any more. Brian.

Hi List,
has anyone else noticed the network connectivity in Mandrake 9.0 goes dead periodically? It's very annoying and it seems to be linked to Shorewall firewall system.
