Users / Please Help - 0810 keeps dropping my internet connection
« on: November 29, 2009, 12:00:51 pm »
Hi and thanks to everyone who has contributed to this amazing project.
I have been running a 710 hybrid for over a year now - it has proved to be a totally reliable gateway, DHCP server and firewall as well as a media server for all the PCs around the house.
A few weeks ago I decided to install the beta 810. Everything appeared to go smoothly - I read everything I could on the forums and wiki and followed all the instructions and it appeared to pay-off.
After a few hours however, all the PCs in the house lost internet connectivity. After many frustrating days I have determined that the gateway seems to stop working after a certain amount of traffic has passed. If traffic is low it will last up to 4 or 5 hours but if I download large files or watch movies online then it will crap out sooner.
All my hardware is exactly the same as before in my very stable 710 system.
This output from ifconfig shows my network card setup:
I have noticed a repeating problem in the syslog viewer that seems to indicate one of the pcs on the network may be doing something wierd:
Am I on the right track here? If so, how can I determine what is causing this? Also, why did it all work fine with 710 and when I eliminate LMCE 810 and use my adsl router as a gateway?
Any assistance or ideas would be much appreciated.
many thanks
Charlie.
