I'm having a devil of a time staying connected here at work today. I suspect some sort of network issue in our office (I've got the only Linux box; everything else here runs 'Doze). What happens is this: every few minutes, my network connection just vanishes for no apparent reason, then comes back up immediately. This is particularly annoying when listening to streaming music or chatting with someone via IM or when trying to check my e-mail. I've tried leaving a terminal window open with "ping <gateway" continually running, but that shows nothing. I've looked at my system logs, but they say nothing related to eth0 or networking issues. I've also tried a live capture via ethereal while the network drops and reconnects, but found nothing that I can interpret as an error. This is a brand new laptop with a brand new network card, so I'm hoping desperately that it isn't that. Where can I look to find out more about network interface troubles my computer might be having? -- Richard S. Crawford http://www.mossroot.com
