Network dies... followed by computer freeze...

Out of now where... and entirly random, my network, just on my linux box goes down... torrents stop dead in the tracks, and firefox cannot load any pages... If I try to bring up a terminal and I get the stopwatch icon followed by a full freeze.

Any ideas?

Re: Network dies... followed by computer freeze...

I had this issue, turned out linux keeps track of more addresses than my router could but a recent firmware update of the router fixed the problem (even stated it in the changelog as the main reason for the update.) So check that. Also check that you are running encrypted many reports of this fixing issues for some individuals. Lastly look at mu torrents faq or change your router firmware to linux.
