External connection deactivates automatically?
« on: April 22, 2000, 01:51:44 AM »
Hi,

I've got a bit of a problem...  I think (although I'm often wrong :) that eth1 (my connection to @home) becomes dead to the outside world after a period of inactivity...  is this a possibility?  It's an ISA 3com 509B  being loaded as a module.

Here's what I see: I can access the web pages from the local network, and friends can access the pages when I catch them on ICQ... but if I try from work during the middle of the day, when noone is using the PC's at home, I can't even ping the e-smith server.  However, if I try just as I get into work, or just before I leave (times when people are using the PC's at home) things work just fine.

On the whole, I'm another very happy e-smith user though...

Comments?  Suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
