ADSL connection unstable Dec 18th 2012, 00:52 Hello! I have a DSL connection configured trough Yast. It works well, but every couple of days it gets lost and this is a problem since I use this computer as NAT/Router... And I have to say I am a little bit confused about ADSL connections in OpenSuse (I come from Fedora where the network manager is nothing like Yast) maybe I did something wrong... Here is my ifconfig: Code: dsl0      Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol            inet addr:X.X.X.X  P-t-P:10.249.0.4  Mask:255.255.255.255           UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST  MTU:1462  Metric:1           RX packets:15947 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0           TX packets:13649 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0           collisions:0 txqueuelen:3           RX bytes:14747326 (14.0 Mb)  TX bytes:1838092 (1.7 Mb) eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:12:3F:A7:4C:AE            inet addr:192.168.0.1  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0           inet6 addr: 2001:470:1d:611:1c12:1447:addb:ec72/64 Scope:Global           inet6 addr: 2001:470:1d:611:8835:1985:e960:dced/64 Scope:Global           inet6 addr: 2001:470:1d:611:212:3fff:fea7:4cae/64 Scope:Global           inet6 addr: fe80::212:3fff:fea7:4cae/64 Scope:Link           UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1           RX packets:433589592 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0           TX packets:32939350 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0           collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000           RX bytes:647393678069 (617402.7 Mb)  TX bytes:7519216634 (7170.8 Mb)           Interrupt:16 eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:08:A1:66:6E:D7            inet6 addr: fe80::208:a1ff:fe66:6ed7/64 Scope:Link           UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1           RX packets:2917993 errors:0 dropped:239 overruns:0 frame:0           TX packets:2517836 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0           collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000           RX bytes:3737206624 (3564.0 Mb)  TX bytes:260635360 (248.5 Mb)           Interrupt:16 Base address:0x8f00 lo        Link encap:Local Loopback            inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0           inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host           UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1           RX packets:228699 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0           TX packets:228699 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0           collisions:0 txqueuelen:0           RX bytes:1710798790 (1631.5 Mb)  TX bytes:1710798790 (1631.5 Mb) This works fine (As I am writing right now) but sometimes I come back from work and dsl0 has disappeared... And what is the difference between "DSL" and "Modem" categories in Yast? Both seem to do the trick... Any idea what causes dsl0 to disappear? Kind of an inactivity timeout or...? Is it possible to active a kind of "keep-alive" signal in that case? Thank you!
