Wise men talk because they have something to say, however on Mon, Aug 28, 2006 at 12:55 , felix.schalck just had to say something so we heard: > Hi, > I'm currently running 6.1-STABLE on a little laptop (CLEVO > M120 W) connected via an ISP-router to the Internet.

I've seen that recently here in Central Florida. When lightning strikes anywhere in about 10 miles the ADSL device can lose sync, so I see it trying to train to regain a connection. Sometimes a power-off will fix it, but other times I just have to wait it out. Who is the transport - not the ISP. Here the company who handles all the network address and connections is Earthlink but the transport it handled by Embarq - the company formerly known as Sprint. > I tried different browsers, different ifconfigs, routing options > and DNS configs.

It really sounds like a connection problem and not any of the software things you mentioned above. A typieal DSL device will have lights on them. WHen it is reset the typical device will show a red light for DSL, then go to a slow green blink as it starts up, then go to a faster blink, and then when it is steady you have a working DSL connection. This really should probably go to freebsd-questions as from my POV it's not a 'net' problem. Bill -- Bill Vermillion - bv @ wjv . com
