What do you mean by "stalling"? Is the box frozen? Is the network unreachable? What does /var/log/messages say? What does ifconifg and route -n show during the stalling? Is the a problem with communicating with your local network or with the ISP? I have a similar setup as you. I use comcast.net, too, and basically I have gotten a static ip from them. They give an infinite lease. I used dhcpcd, and although it is supposed to run in the background, the obtaining of an infinite lease makes it terminate. I imagine if dhcpcd were running all the time, from time to time, I might get a new IP and that would certainly complicate my router situation. Is your machine getting a new IP from time to time? Would your firewall be a problem? Instead of rebooting, have you just tried telinit 1 ? Joel
