-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I woke up to a dead modem. I was trying to get a big file, so left it to d/l overnight. When I got up I noted that the modem lights were still lighted as if I was online (no throughput lights flashing, though) and the kinternet icon was in the 'off' state. I reconnected, and it quit half an hour later, in the [apparently] same fashion as last night. (I say this since I've seen it happen many times even w/9 Pro.) Since it quit working while I was working I got some kernel output that I am hoping someone can explain to me. You'll note lots o f kernel messages having to do w/ppp0... which I think is firewall output, actually. Then, at 09:02:32, you get down to gconf which is where I apparently lost my modem. - --KERNEL OUTPUT-- May 20 09:01:17 linux kernel: SFW2-INext-ACC-TCP IN=ppp0 OUT= MAC= SRC=80.33.255.249 DST=204.250.144.3 LEN=48 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=103 ID=10959 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=51974 DPT=4662 WINDOW=8192 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 OPT (020405B401010402) May 20 09:01:18 linux kernel: SFW2-INext-ACC-TCP IN=ppp0 OUT= MAC= SRC=81.154.44.246 DST=204.250.144.3 LEN=48 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=107 ID=11880 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=32557 DPT=4662 WINDOW=64240 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 OPT (020405B401010402) May 20 09:01:18 linux kernel: SFW2-INext-ACC-TCP IN=ppp0 OUT= MAC= SRC=130.228.160.202 DST=204.250.144.3 LEN=48 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=111 ID=5207 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=60532 DPT=4662 WINDOW=64240 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 OPT (020405B401010402) May 20 09:01:20 linux kernel: martian source 204.250.144.3 from 204.250.144.3, on dev ppp0 May 20 09:01:20 linux kernel: ll header: 45:00:00:39 May 20 09:01:23 linux kernel: SFW2-INext-ACC-TCP IN=ppp0 OUT= MAC= SRC=217.229.210.44 DST=204.250.144.3 LEN=52 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=112 ID=2079 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=64721 DPT=4662 WINDOW=32767 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 OPT (020405AC0103030001010402) - --PROBLEM SPOT?
