Hi I want to provide an update. I got sick of this problem and went out and bought a cheap Linksys network card, put it in and disabled the onboard LAN, and problem was solved.
Then I installed 9.10, still all was good. And to confirm, later I moved my box and must have dis-lodged the network card, cuz my connection was gone. At that time I pulled out the network card and went with the on board. And the problems came back. So I just put the network card back in, it wasn't broken after all, and I expect that the problem is gone again, will report back if not. So, I have to blame this on the Asus mobo and on-board LAN. Hardware problem I guess. The comp is HP a6405cn with these specs: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01369568&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&jumpid=reg_R1002_USEN So this may implicate the Realtek RTL8101E 10/100 Mbps LAN, possibly? I dunno but problem solved anyway. -- Wired PPPOE Connection in Jaunty drops on DHCPREQUEST https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/434049 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
