Hi again, OK, brought some logs in.
When my internet connection stopped on Saturday. At this point eth0 still reports having an IP address in the weblet --> Network Setup I tried running the pump command, this is the DHCP client, yes?. It wrote this to the log Mar 1 11:45:32 firewall kernel: eth0: Setting Rx mode to 0 addresses. Mar 1 11:45:32 firewall kernel: eth0: Setting Rx mode to 1 addresses. Mar 1 11:45:32 firewall pumpd[27199]: PUMP: sending discover Mar 1 11:45:32 firewall pumpd[27199]: breq: opcode: 1 Mar 1 11:45:32 firewall pumpd[27199]: breq: hw: 1 Mar 1 11:45:32 firewall pumpd[27199]: breq: hwlength: 6 Mar 1 11:45:32 firewall pumpd[27199]: breq: hopcount: 0 Mar 1 11:45:32 firewall pumpd[27199]: breq: xid: 0x1ead00e8 Mar 1 11:45:32 firewall pumpd[27199]: breq: secs: 0 Mar 1 11:45:32 firewall pumpd[27199]: breq: flags: 0x0000 Mar 1 11:45:32 firewall pumpd[27199]: breq: ciaddr: 0.0.0.0 Mar 1 11:45:32 firewall pumpd[27199]: breq: yiaddr: 0.0.0.0 Mar 1 11:45:32 firewall pumpd[27199]: breq: server_ip: 0.0.0.0 Mar 1 11:45:32 firewall pumpd[27199]: breq: bootp_gw_ip: 0.0.0.0 Mar 1 11:45:32 firewall pumpd[27199]: breq: hwaddr: Mar 1 11:45:32 firewall pumpd[27199]: breq: servername: Mar 1 11:45:32 firewall pumpd[27199]: breq: bootfile: Mar 1 11:45:32 firewall pumpd[27199]: breq: vendor: 0x63 0x53 0x82 0x63 Mar 1 11:45:32 firewall pumpd[27199]: breq: vendor: 53 1 0x01 Mar 1 11:45:32 firewall pumpd[27199]: breq: vendor: 0xff Once I do that, ip addr shows that eth0 has no IP address. Internet access is still down. Apart from that, the only things in the log is lots of this... Mar 1 07:15:01 firewall /USR/SBIN/CRON[16448]: (root) MAIL (mailed 12 bytes of output but got status 0x0001 ) Mar 1 11:45:01 firewall /USR/SBIN/CRON[2897]: (root) CMD (/etc/multicron-p) Lots of blocked packets, the last of them being this (x3) Mar 1 09:12:23 firewall kernel: Shorewall:net2all:DROP:IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=00:20:af:e1:2d:00:00:05:5f:ee:b0:a8:08:00 SRC=212.241.103.151 DST=81.102.124.19 LEN=48 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=117 ID=1612 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=1172 DPT=139 WINDOW=16384 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 I have the rest of the log if anything else is needed... I read the rest of the shorewall FAQ, but I can't see the problem. The only thing I can think of is that it's the cable company, but because I'm not using windows they won't give me any support. I do have sources of information about their network though. OK, that's it. Thanks!
