I run Fedora 7 and use Verizon DSL. My modem is a Westell 6100-E90 modem/router. My DSL connection usually runs well, but about once every seven to ten days I lose my Internet connection.


My SWAG, for some reason, you are not renewing your dhcp lease in
the modem. You might root around in the modems web page and see what
you can see.

I can regain my connection by rebooting Fedora. I've not been able to regain my Internet connection without a reboot (e.g. "service network restart" hangs).


Now that is odd, I would have thought it would not matter unless your fedora
firewall gets in the way.

Would you dump your network settings for us to look at.

Your firewall is cutting your router (and all external
traffic via default gateway) off.

It is a good question why the router is attempting to
connect to the HTTP port of your computer.

The (cut-off) rest of the same porridge may have further
clues on what's going on.
