Hey, you've now opened 4 threads here. Gotta admire your tenacity. :)

This problem is frustrating. I firmly believe (with almost no supporting evidence) that a reboot to regain a lost Internet connection should be a last resort.

I also believe (again with no supprting evidence), that there should be a straightforward troubleshooting procedure when a "service network restart" hangs.

Here's a suggestion which is a flat-out guess:

Next time things stop try

ethtool -r eth0

and then check the "ifconfig eth0" output for RUNNING.

I've done ethtool eth0 and ifconfig after connection loss but before issuing "service network restart". Eth0 is UP but not RUNNING. Link detected = yes.

Hey, it's quick anyway.
