Perhaps the building network configuration has changed.
No change.
I was told Linux (maybe most distributions) looses some network configuration data that is in a system file of the /etc directory. But no one knows the file name and what is lost on a sudden blackout
I don't think so. /etc holds static configuration dta, nothing can be lost there.
There is something not going quite right here in regards to 11.1 (don't know about 11.2). My wife and I are each connected directly to the modem/router. She is running KDE4.2 while I am running KDE4.3.1. We are both running knemo to monitor our traffic. When we lose connection to the internet and then the line comes back up again she is unable to connect to another URL, not even our own ISP (error message: "Server not found") when she tries to refresh the page although she is already on our ISP's site. The KDE network monitor shows that there is no network connection (to the modem/router) (eth0 state: disconnected) and knemo shows that she has no IP address (she's usually 192.168.1.xx; the only info showing is the NIC address). She has to either reboot her computer or logout and login in before she is able to access any URL. On the other hand, I don't have this problem.
