I am using shared broadband connection in my Debian laptop at home. I am
having an annoying problem regarding my internet connection. My problem is:
after some times my connection is gone automatically. Sometimes it occurs
after 10 minutes & sometimes it occurs after 1/2 hours. Here, "connection
gone" means..."Destination Host unreachable". But, if i reboot my laptop, it
becomes ok again & same problem happens after some time. Reboot... ok...
again gone...reboot...ok... so on.
I am facing this problem in my home only, no problem at all in my office or
school.
How can i get rid of such problem?
Is this a dial-up connection?
Possibly your network interface is going down for some reason.
When Internet is not accessible, are you able to ping the ip address
of your machine and the gateway?
run 'ifup eth0' in the terminal. (replace 'eth0' with the appropriate
interface).
this should bring your connection back.
