Subject: Re: [plug] firewall-gateway connectivity problem
i've done this time and time again, resetting the modem, it helps at first
but the problem still recurring,
it is still a strong candidate that your problem is in your adsl modem... i
have seen bad adsl modems that when the link is down and back online... the
modem could not established a connection under the bridge mode... you have
to reset the modem to established a connection again... if your connectivity
is using pppoe... just make sure that the pppoe client redials upon
connection drop....
the ipcop box has its owns dns caching which i used for my clients,
but this caching dns still points to the primary dns provided by pldt.
will setting up a local dns be of help? i mean totally rid of the problem?
no... if your problem is on the layer 1 (physical), layer 2 (datalink) and
layer 3 (network)... layer 4 to 7 is useless where your dns resides...
if your dns forwarders point to pldt dns servers... try to avoid it because
pldt from time to time change their dns ip address...
fooler.
