Those are just debug messages from the gconf database routines that  
save your preferences.

I doubt they are actually related to your Internet communications  
problems.

It's either an issue with the ISP or your pppoe configuration.

Check the load on the machine - make sure  gconfd isn't consuming most of the
CPU during the apparent Internet outage.

You may get some additional clues if you can find out what is querying
gconfd.  What application are you using to manage your networking
configuration?  Do you have a DSL modem only, or a combination
modem/router?  Is your CentOS box plugged directly into the DSL
device, or are you using wireless or any additional router?

My suspicion would be that either (1) your DSL drops and the log
entries above are from the network management software when it
attempts to restore the connection, e.g. re-obtaining DHCP token; or
(2) the network software itself fails and restarts, which seems less
likely.  There are additional possibilities if there's a wifi
connection, etc.

My MTU is already set to 1492. Can you explain the relationship between 
internet access and the log entries?

Try setting the MTU on the DSL interface to 1492 if you're doing PPPoE.

If not, get a better Internet provider.

[CentOS] Interupted Internet Service

Everytime I see this in the logs my internet access stops for about 5 minutes. 
Nothing else follows in the logs. I have DSL. Any ideas?
