This sounds similar. On mine, the kernel still spits out occasional messages which would indicate that the external line is still live, but I'd never know it. The one time, I came in and found the link light off, but was still getting occasional packets through. Playing with wires eventually solved it.
This last time, though, everything looked okay, but packets weren't flowing regularly. Again, kernel errors seemed to indicate continued traffic, even if it was sporadic. "Daniel F.
