It is more randomic than that. Just now I tried again and I have about one in two, but sometimes I get two good connections in a row. Some days ago it was exactly one on and one off. I tried about 20 times, but that doesn't hold anymore. Now I got a streak of 6 good connections in a row... ... perhaps in a few days it will cure itself completely... :) Tomorrow morning I will try again after another reboot and I will also try backuppc. > > Also, you can reply on the mailing list so everyone can help or get > answers later by searching.
