2 (prob. unhelpful) suggestions: 1)install SuSE, or 2) install 2k ;P All kidding aside, I'm not sure what could be doing that. The only time we ever lose connection with the router here, is back on BS DSL, when we hosted from home, if we typed in a URL that, in essence, went outside the Router, then back in to one of our internal machines, the router would scream holy terror and shutdown all connections for a few minutes. To get around this, we just set those particular domains in the /etc/hosts file for an internal IP addy. This is more than likely not your problem, because the other machines tend to stay up. But instead of rebooting, why not try and disable, then re-enable the connection in Network Neighborhood (or whatever it's called these days)...? Would be a lot nicer all around to write a script for that, if it works, than to continually reboot it... And as mentioned in an earlier thread, I'm going to upload CD1 of SuSE7.3, so that others may partake of the goodness... =D Just say NO to XP ;P hehe Geo ______________________________________________________________________ This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
