Hi friends, Here is a new and srange problem(maybe just for me!) in FC4 netwroking. I have a FC4 web server in my office serving company's website (connected to ISP1) and we have no problem with our website when we try to retrieve pages from inside the company and remote locations(by using the same ISP as office). But sometimes ,just some times,we lose our connectivity to this server ,no ping no ssh etc. during this situation the only solution is pinging a remote host like google from FC4 console and pinging all of the hosts using ISP1 will not solve the problem!. When my colleague in office ping the google it starts pinging after one packet lost and we will have no problem. Thus,What exactly is this problem ? something related to ISP1 ? to FC4 ? Hardware? Thank you for any comment. Regards,
Not sure if this applies to you but the ISP I am using needs to be pinged periodically to keep the connection alive. Otherwise, it would drop non-active users. My ISP specifically told me this when I signed up with it. The only reason I say this is because when you start pinging, your connection would come alive again which is very similar to my situation. Without seeing your actual network, I see no other factors that can affect your internet connection like this. You can try different network configuration to eliminate the possibilities though. For example, if you suspect if it is a Fedora problem (which I doubt), you can connect a windows machine on your network and see if its connection dies as well.
What I did was write a simple script that would regularly ping my ISP and my internet connection has been fairly stable.
