Same here.. Sometimes a connection lasts more than a week, but some days I get disconnected 5 times a day. We use Actcom. Same problem back when we were with Bezeq. I'm interested to know if Windoze people have the same problems because perhaps it is a fault of pptp or something. Another note, I run two servers that are geographically close enough to be connected to the same adsl "switch". I am guessing that there may be two separate problems. Sometimes both servers get disconnected at the same time and sometimes only one. I have noticed on a few occasions a disconnection during a large power disturbance (from UPS daemon logs), and the adsl modem is on the UPS. If many people are having problems with disconnections it may be helpful to collect connect time logs with people located in the same area. And, finally, remember that adsl works over a pair of copper wires that go all over the place. The rain may have something to do with it... that may explain the last two days problem, but I would expect the modem to have problems maintaining a link so keep an eye on it.. (I know, you probably don't babysit your server all day.. I plan on making a sensor to monitor the the link LED on the adsl modem.) -Cedar ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
