For some reason, usually after about three days, after instaling and 
configuring linux to use the internet via my schools network, the 
internet won't work any more.  If I use telnet, it tells me that the 
host lookup failed and netscape can't find any server.  When I boot 
up or shutdown, I see a message saying my eth0 "device or 
resource is busy".  Looking at netcfg, it tells me that it is inactive 
and activating it returns a message that initializing it will be 
delayed.  I've had to reinstal at least three times now.  

Today was a real kick in the pants as I added no new software and 
it died in hours.  How do I fix this problem and secondly keep it 
from reoccuring in the future?
