I was hoping some one could help with this. I have Telstra ADSL.
Approximately 6 times a day the connection is lost and then the IP address
changes effectivly hanging any telnet sessions etc in progress. I am
unsure if the problem is with Telstra (the whole ADSL thing seems slow and
unreliable at this time), a problem with my line or a linux thing.
I guess if I did not loose the lease on the IP address with each
reconnection that would help with the symptoms but not the problem with
the lost connections.
I have attached some of the error logs below.
Any suggestions/help much appreciated
