List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Hi, Hmmmm, sounds to me like a dhcp issue. If your service is like roadrunner here, they timeout the ip address every four hours. I've not used dhcp under linux, but I think if you do a renew things will come back to normal. Anyone out there got the command specifics for a release/renew for dhcp under linux? ifconfig eth0 renew That would be my guess, but it's just a guess. All the unix boxes i've worked with have static addresses. Cecil
