As I wrote earlier, my ADSL connection problem **seemed** to solve itself, and
I was online. In fact, after about 3 hours on-line, I noticed the connection
had died again. This time (since I knew what to look for) I found and am sending
part of /var/log/syslog - notice that at 18:46 the connection was still alive
(although I was not at the computer. At 19:07, the connection died - I noticed
it only several minutes later when I came back to the computer. From the log I
see that pid 3097 ran a script to shut down ppp - but I have no idea why this
happened.
Can ayone explain this???
As far as Haim Gelfenbeyn's script - I downloaded it and will try it - thank
you - however, I see that at least part (firewall.sh) is meant for kernel 2.4,
so I guess I'll have to upgrade my kernel or maybe I'll wait for Mandrake 8.0.
BTW - I have had random disconnects before - but in the past, I would just run
my connection script again and be back online with no problem. I don't know why
I'm have so many disconnects and NOT being able to reconnect. As I write this,
I've been trying to reconnect for about half an hour and have not yet succeeded.
I've turned the modem off and on a few times. Eventually I'll succeed, but this
is very frustrating !!!!!
Here's the log:
