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

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

The DSL modem is connected to DL via eth0.  I have a two card configuration.  1 for internet, and 1 to the local network.

Since you're using DSL, how's DL connected to the modem?
You find the current log message on console 10 (switch with ALT F10).
DL doesn't write the logs to a file per default, since it's running of the
ramdisk. If you got a harddisk in you system, you can configure DL to use
it (see docs). Then enable the logging to the hdd in
/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf.
