Internet connection keeps droping

I use current ie kernel 2.6.17.*. Ever since this upgrade, my internet connection drops when i start to download a file. I then have to reboot.

Quite frustrating. Whats wrong and how can i fix it. I use a speedtouch 330 silver modem.

Thanks


A good friend will come and bail you out of jail...BUT a true friend will be sitting next to you saying, "Damn...that was fun!"

Re: Internet connection keeps droping

You sure the whole connction is dropping?  Can you ping google.com from a terminal after the problem occurs?  Does the problem occur when you download using wget command, too?

Can you get back the connection by doing this as root (instead of rebooting)?

$ /etc/rc.d/network restart
