Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] internet connection goes 'inactive'

[ross p. <ras...@ya...>]

I am using DL v. 1.2.9, and I have a qwest DSL connection.  There are no programs I am running that should be closing the connection.  I don't have a local DNS server.  I am using the default firewall options, and I don't know where to find the logs.  I am quite new to devil linux.  I have been using ubuntu linux with Firestarter firewall, but I wanted a more stripped down, firewall geared distribution.  I will be sure and check the bios settings to see if anything there is powering it down.  Thanks, for the replies.

You need to give us a lot more information before we even can attempt to
help you.

Which DL version?
What kind of Internet connection?
Any programs running to open/close the connection ? (i.e. rp-ppoe)
Do you have a local DNS Server ?
Are you using any supplied firewall scripts?
What's in the logs?
