My network connectivity seem to be bad lately, during a download of mail is just stops working, web pages just stop of fail to load. Some days I can ping a site but not load the web page, the problem usually clears up after a few hours on it's own. I recently noticed that the sockets seem to be swapped out. Any ideas on what else to do to solve this trouble? ifconfig gives this ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol inet addr:64.230.147.230 P-t-P:64.230.254.38 Mask:255.255.255.255 UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1492 Metric:1 RX packets:553 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:319 errors:0 dropped:56 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:3 RX bytes:62321 (60.8 Kb) TX bytes:29277 (28.5 Kb) ps aux *** 0.2 5.9 53824 38324 ?
