Hello everyone I have been trying to find a simple solution for an on going problem.
I have a Linux based firewall / router located out of town. It connects to the Internet via a satellite connection (the only other option is dial-up internet) Due to several factors, at times the connection can be less than favorable, and we have to go and manually obtain the IP address from the ISP (after someone discovers that there is no connection again) When I am there, I have found is that simply restarting the network service will re-establish the connection. Is there a way. that the Linux machine can monitor the status of the incoming connection from the ISP, and attempt to restore the connection if it is lost? And continue to attempt to re-connect to the ISP until connection is restored (sometimes, this can be hours due to weather).
