This saga keeps going. Today, when receiving my emails (only Evolution was connected), the connection to the LAN was lost. For a couple of minutes I couldn't even ping the gateway. I tried a few times with the same outcome: I couldn't get the mails and needed to start all over. I realized that the only way to get the connection back was by pinging the gateway. It took 2 or 3 minutes of pinging to get it back. So I decided to hook the Linux laptop directly to the ADSL modem, without firewall or NAT. No protection whatsoever. I thought it might be a faulty network cable or even the hub. But then again, the same problem. And again, I needed to ping the default gateway provided by the ISP to get the connection back. So I suppose there must be some faulty interaction between Mandrake and the laptop NIC. Just came up to my mind to try this running Linux within VMWare in a XP box. It might me the NIC driver. I will report tonight. I got some business meetings now. __ / \\ @ __ __ @ Adolfo Bello <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> / // // /\ / \\ // \ // Bello Ingenieria S.A, Presidente / \\ // / \\/ // // / // cel: +58 416 609-6213 /___//// / <_/\__\\//__/ // fax: +58 212 952-6797 www.bisapi.com // pager: www.tun-tun.com (# 609-6213)
