That's very odd, your IP might rotate but DSL should never disconnect entirely for no apparent reason. Freenet doesn't do anything intended to cause this. A few possibilities come to mind : - You have a crappy modem/router that can't handle large numbers of connections (characteristic of Freenet) and is falling over when asked to do so. The "free" ones you get with ISP accounts tend to be less than great. The relevant parameter is the "maxNodeConnections" line in freenet.ini . However unless you manually put in some decent sized number here it will probably only be 60, it should be 200 on XP but was getting set to 60 due to a bug in nodeconfig.exe that I just fixed :) If it is, you could try reducing it even further but I would be suprised if any router is _that_ crap. - Your box is pwned by spyware/trojans/rootkits/viruses/worms/all of the above. No offence, I've seen it happen recently, inside 24 hours, to a reasonably security conscious person who's system I fully patched up to date etc before it even went on the net. One of the several IE6 0days in circulation is my guess. - Other hardware issue(s) that only show up under heavy load, a common culprit being flaky memory in the upper ranges. Probably not this though, I'm guessing with a system like that you use it for other demanding apps/games where it would show up also.
