. Recently, I have been experiencing strange dsl problems, which I have been unable to either solve or even pin down.
My main Linux box which is ethernet wire connected to my 2-wire modem/router has had a few dropped signals, but that is minor. My backup Linux box which is also ethernet wire connected through a hub to the same router has lost the connection entirely. My IBM Thinkpad in another room has generally remained connected via a 3-com wireless PCI card, though it sometimes drops the signal; but when that happens I can always quickly reconnect. On my HP zv6000 laptop I have a dual-boot Linux partition and a win-xp partition. I have never been able to get the internal broadband 802.11 wireless card to work with the Linux partition, but until recently, I have never had any problem maintaining a steady 54Mbps wireless connection. But now that has gone flakey. However, I can connect to my neighbor's linksys unsecured wireless router at 11Mbps. On my wife's computer in another room dual booting Linux and win-xp I initially had a wireless connection on the Linux partition, but it failed shortly after I set it up, so she has been using the xp partition and has maintained a steady 54Mbps connection ... until recently, but that connection has become unreliable. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Today, I called both 2-wire and qwest, but neither were able to help me solve the problem. I've tried ipconfig on the xps and /sbin/ifconfig on the linux boxes and get a mixed bag of IP addresses. So I'm stuck. How can I solve this?
