Ok, here is a real mystery. My setup is this: Modem from my ISP (in
bridge mode). That connects to my Linksys Router, which connects to
my Linksys Switch, and then there is my niternet network.

Over the last 2 weeks I've started losing my internet connection for
hours at a time, including within my own internal network. Comcast
has come out multiple times and cannot find anything. However, get
this: If I unplug my Linux server from the network, I get internet
back almost immediately. Once I plug it back in things are good for a
while, then it happens again and if I unplug the server I get internet
back again........

Maybe your linux box has a bad network card, or another box on the network has the same IP or MAC address?

Well the phrase 'getting internet back' is so woolly as to suggest a fairly high level of technical ignorance in the poster..

If a machine on the network that shouldn't be involved in a connection out screws it, the implication is its doing something like splattering DHCP over everything and screwing up DHCP machines, or similar.


I lose internet in summer when I shut a cupboard door. Figure that one out ;-)
