Is there a recommended way to start DSL without any network request, so that it's nearly always on? In openSUSE documentation I only found two alternatives: always-on and manually. Both are not ideal. (I know, that the provider breaks the connection every 24 hours. The router should reconnect then.) It sounds like you will have to generate traffic occasionally. If the ISP is killing the connection, there's nothing else that will work. I'd say a ping every hour or so should do the trick. That won't cost much

Maybe IDLETIME 0 or -1, just a very wild guess.
Where is the disconnect occurring? At the server or ADSL modem? If the ISP shuts down the connection to the modem. the server might not know about it. Another keep alive might be to do DHCP requests. That's simple enough to do. The dhcpcd -l option can be used to set a lease time independent of the server. So, if set to 3600 seconds, it would make a request every hour. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
