Unstable internet connection


Hello,

I installed Fedora 5 and I am using Cable modem with Linksys router.

On window system, internet connection is good. But in Fedora 5, internet connection is unstable.

After log on Fedora 5, I can use internet for several mins and ping is working properly.

After 3 or 6 mins, connection goes down and I cannot use internet anymore... Ping to my router and another computer in network is not working from at that time.

I thought this was because of my main board. I am using Nvidia Geforce 6100 and I thought that the board had some problem with ethernet card. So I have put another ethernet card which is working well with linux system. But still not working properly.

Please reply this thread if you have any idea. Thanks.

Does seem odd. My only thoughts are change the cable and also try a different port on the switch.

Cool

If YOU are using DHCP, try to increase the lease time to seven days. That is 604800secs. Ask YOUR ISP for the correct value for MTU. http://www.wiki.com for details.
