I'm using a coyote firewall on a Verizon DSL line that I haven't touched
in months. But it's acting a little squirrelly. The "connection" won't
stay up for any length of time. I test it by pinging known sites which
will respond to pings. When the connection falters (on the order of
minutes between failures), I can kill the dhcpcd daemon, and reissue the
dhcpcd command (/sbin/dhcpcd -d eth1) and it will respond with an IP.
Moreover, it's the same IP every time (I have dynamic IP). Then the
connection will inexplicably go down after a few minutes. And if I
repeat the above, I'm connected again. I thought maybe it was a lease
timeout problem, so I issued /sbin/dhcpcd -l 36000 eth1, but the
connection went down after a few minutes anyway.
Anyone have a clue why this type of thing would happen (_before_ I
contact the retards at Verizon)?
