Gurus, Two or three times a day I will lose my "connection" to the outside world with RoadRunner cable service. I can ping my NIC and cable modem but nothing else. I can "reset" by doing a shutdown <ctrl> d Then I get the same IP address, netmask (I think), and DNS's. Then connectivity is back. So I have two questions: 1. How can I re-establish connectivity without re-booting. I've tried # dhclient ed0 but I lose the IP address I did have and returns an error message (sorry can't recall it right now). So I end up rebooting. 2. I'd like to know what is going on so I can start complaining to my cable ISP. It's mildly inconvenient when I'm at home and can work on the console of the gateway. When I'm working away from home, it's a real hassle. Regards, Doug To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
