It acted like I had no internet connection at all.  The lights on my
modem didn't even blink nor did the router.  The browser responded to me
switching tabs and such tho.

When I open Konsole, it asks for the root password from the start.  I
always open it as root since that is where I do emerges and such as
that.  I also edit some files in /etc using it too.  It is inside the
regular GUI login tho.  My point was, it was using root permissions to
run ping and such when I tested it.  Just in case it could be a
permissions thing.  I don't use sudo here.

Well, I'm not sure about my UPS.  It could be old school usb1.  My mouse
and keyboard is PS/2 tho. 

One additional note.  It has ran all day with no problems that I have
seen.
