Well now, nothing so far should cause a drop after a few hours.


Ping 192.168.1.1 following connection loss

[root@localhost ~]# ping 192.168.1.1
PING 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
From 192.168.1.47 icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable

Does route -n still show what it does during connection?


My uneducated hunch is that I should first understand why, at time of
connection loss, I can ping 192.168.1.47 but cannot ping 192.168.1.1
before going any further with DNS etc.

Yes. If you set your connection as static and make it work, you get to
rule out dhcp issues between your modem and your system.
