I'm trying to get my company's e-smith server set up behind our router, but for some reason it keeps losing the internet (or the internet keeps losing it).
What I mean is, the connection is fine to start, but every minute or so, if there isn't any traffic, it will drop off the face of the internet. It can be pinged (but maybe it's the router responding?) but web, ssh, and ftp are no longer accessable.
The only fix I've found is to telnet into the box via the router, and ping an external site. I've set up a cron job to ping every minute (have also tested with 3 or 4 times a minute), but it doesn't always work. Also, I don't think I should have to ping the internet once a minute to keep our web site up.
I'm pretty sure this has nothing to do with e-smith, and is just a router problem, but perhaps someone here has had similar difficulties, and can point me in the right way? Any assistance would be appreciated.
We have a netopia R7100-C running version 4.6 of the firmware.
