eth0

Hello, the same happens to me. Sometimes when I boot up, I loose my connection to the Internet (CableModem - eth0). Then I activate it again and it works. Why?
I want to make sure my connection will be working at booting time.

Thanks.

I fixed the problem by disabling network hotpluggin on the interface.
