My box was online for 25.x hours w/o any problems ...until I used k3b. Then, it couldn't stay connected for more than two or three minutes before all throughput stopped & the logs showed a termination after four failed echo requests and it no longer worked until I rebooted. After that, all was normal, once more. The box had been up for roughly two days prior to this problem. Anyone else experiencing this behaviour?
