Hello: I have a problem where my ethernet card (i.e. eth0) suddenly keeps dropping or resetting itself after a few hours? I'm sort of new to this but I figured this snippet of log info would be helpful for the experience in this forum. Could someone shed some light on what is happening and what I can do to correct it? Every few hours I notice that my IFCONFIG readout hasn't anything for eth0 AND that my route info hasn't an entry for my dynamic IP from my ISP. Just for your info, if I turn off my machine for a day or less, my IP is always the same (i.e. 216.160.73.69). Could there be something I can change to prevent this or delay the reset? (NOTE: I may be using the wrong term; seems like a reset to me) Thanks everyone. Yes, I'm a newbie.
