Hi all!
Recently I've been having some networking problems on my Linux workstation. My
Linux workstation, as well as my family's Windows XP machines are connected to
the Internet using an Ethernet+wireless NAT/Router ( AirLink 101) that's
connected to our Bezeq ADSL (WOW) ECI B-Focus Router 270. Our ISP is Bezeq
International. My Linux machine runs Mandriva Linux Cooker, and is connected
to the router using the following Ethernet card:
{{{
Intel Corporation 82557/8/9/0/1 Ethernet Pro 100
}}}
Until recently, everything was nice and dandy, but starting from a few weeks
ago (about two months I think) Firefox started to report something like "The
connection was interrupted why loading the page. Press the button to try
again." and the button then proceeds to load the page. Furthermore, urpmi (the
Mandriva networked package installer) sometimes reports that it cannot find
packages on mirror.isoc.org.il, only to find them later upon a retry.
Another possible hint is that using svn checkout on http-based svn.berlios.de
URLs such as http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/fc-solve/trunk/ has been
taking a lot of time on the WinXP machine (also connected via Ethernet), while
using the https:// URLs was OK.
I've also had a case of wget -c restarting a file transfer from the beginning
because it could not continue it from where it ended on a halted transfer.
I recall trying to restart the modem and the router after the situation became
very bad, and it seemed to have made things better for a day or so. But now
the problems with Firefox and urpmi are happening again.
I have bought a static IP from Bezeqint.
Does anyone have any idea?
Regards,
Shlomi Fish
