Hi List,
Last november, my remote home server went offline. When I finally could access it physically, the machine was all fine, just the connection to the outside world had been dead. A simple 'systemctl restart network' did bring it back (it's a wicked-managed dhcp connection).
Now I wonder if there is some daemon existing that regularly checks if the outside connection is properly working and, if not, restarts the network. I'd have expected systemctl to do something like that. Or is it so simple that I should just write a cron script that does this?
Wow.
I wrote my own daemon that pings the router and google periodically. My problem is not the network dying on the computer, but the home router locking up, though, so my daemon would not work for you.
Hehe, had that with the Movistar ADSL modem. I finally connected it to a wallplug timer that shut power down for one minute every day, to restart the modem :D
My home server has not acted up in the way you describe, using Leap 15.0. However, my small laptop sometimes does not connect to the network on restore from hibernate and I have to manually restart the network.
I'm not sure what actually happened, there was absolutely nothing in the logs. Just no more firewall logs of dropped packages, and I couldn't get in from outside. It had been running without issues for 200 days or so.
I think you should change your setup to fixed address, not dhcp.
That's not possible. This is in Sweden, the internet is included with the appartement, and only handed out via dhcp. Nothing I have influence on. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org
