[coLinux-users] Beginners question/slirp/colinux 1.7.1

[Christian R. <chr...@uc...>]

Dear colinuxers,

I just installed colinux 1.7.1 under Vista on a brand new laptop. 'Went 
almost like butter: slirp interface allowed connections to the outside, 
tap interface to the windows OS on the laptop. However, frequently, 
after about 10 minutes, the slirp connection dies (at least attempts of 
reaching the outside via ssh requests or apt-get / I'm using a Debian 
setup). On the other hand, established connections via ssh remain 
operational.

Here is the information of the setup:
    laptop connected to network via router modem (DSL)
    laptop runs Vista, Comodo, Antivir (and, obviously colinux)
   
Today, I'll check over a different network entry point.

Any ideas what I could check to see what happens to the slirp when it 
'falls asleep'? so far I have not been able to get it back working 
without halting colinux and restarting it.

Chris
