Is there a way to automaticly restart the external network (whitout restarting the whole server) , when you cant reach the internet anymore ?

First case: If you have an adsl connection tipe.
You could change the timeout connection setting in pppoe options to 0 (zero) it makes the connection to be persistent
Take a look at "man adsl-start" in a root session logged in to the e-smith box. so see the options.
if you manually want to check the status of an asdl connection at a root session
type: service pppoe status
to stop: service pppoe stop
to start: service pppoe start
to restart (stop->start): service pppoe restart
secon case:
You have a dial up connection type:
it will keep dialing untill connection whenever an outside dns query is called.
so if you want to stop/start/restart/check..do the same service calls but with diald service (service diald start /stop.. etc)
there is an add on module somewhere in e-smith.org web site called dialing that is intended to control dial up connections from the e-smith web based manager you should check it to see if it fits you.
As I'm newbie on this: this is a newbie opinion so if someone else had a better idea or suggestion ...be my guest
