eth0 goes down at ~10:00am everyday

RemusX2 · 03-08-2006, 04:30 PM

This is an odd problem, atleast from what I have encountered so far in my time with Linux. Ok, about a week ago, I update DHCP to the latest version in Portage. For those who don't know what Portage is, it's basically Gentoo's package manager. Anyway, since that day, whenever 10:00am or so comes around, eth0 goes down. I just bring it back up via

Code:

dhcpcd eth0

and it is fine the rest of the day. The next day comes around, same thign happens.

Thanks for any help

Wow that is the strangest, does it say anything in dmesg when it happens?

Here's the only thing I found relevent to the problem... maybe this will help

ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:01:07.0[A] -> Link [APC4] -> GSI 19 (level, low) -> IRQ 21

Probably a bug.

Your IP address is given a 'lease' for how long it is supposed to last.
DHCP is supposed to automatically renew that lease before time is up.

Try recompiling dhcpcd without super optimizations (if you did to begin with).
Failing that, downgrade.

Also, check the settings on your DHCP server for how long the lease is set to.
