Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] connection bounce problem - help

[Heiko Z. <he...@zu...>]

Hey,

I'm not aware of anything in DL which could cause this issue.
Does the ethernet connection itself go down?
Can you swap the network card to see if it's a simple hardware issue?
Which version of DL are you using?
