Okay - next time, can you ping <any known address> ? Try 194.150.245.35.
Pinging any known address outside of my LAN doesn't work during the outage.
Okay, then at least you can forget any possible DNS problem. When your internet connection drops like this, it should be visible in your router log. I would expect to see evidence of the router login in again etc.
OK... but what confuses me about all this is it's not a 100% drop. Torrents are not interrupted, VoIP calls are not interrupted and there is no quality drop during a call while this is happening. Online gaming never hiccups either, and that is particularly susceptible to network latency and disconnects. Time to dig deeper into the firewall log... :-P C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
