Internet Connection Dies

patisawsome · 02-24-2006, 11:07 AM

I am running a small webserver out of my house and the internet connection dies for my linux machine over night. I check evry thing before I go to bed but when I check my computer in the morning my intert connection on my linux machine is dead. I have checked my windows machine and the internet is fine. Could their be a problem with my router or would it have to do with the hardware on my computer. I am running Slackware 10.2 ad I am running an apache2 webserver. Thankyou for any help in advance.

It would be good to see if there is a specific time when it goes down every night. If so, you can narrow down exactly what is going on with your connection. If you get a specific time but can't figure out what's causing it, a small band-aid (tm) to the issue could be running a cron job at just after that time for an 'ifconfig eth1 down' 'ifconfig eth1 up' Or somesuch, though that's a pretty ugly workaround.
