[IPCop-user] ADSL Connection keep dropping and staying down

[Piers K. <de...@bi...>]

Hello all,

Am using IPCop 1.4.11 on a VIA Mini-ITX with 2 onboard ethernet  
ports.  I'm using a preinstalled IPCop image on a CF disk connected  
to a CF-IDE convertor.  I'm using a Conexant ADSL PCI Modem as the  
RED interface.  My problem is that the connection keep dropping (due  
to poor line quality or something, I don't know) one or twice a day,  
but once it's dropped, it stays down - IPCop attempts to reconnect  
but is never successful.  The only way to fix this is to reboot IPCop  
then it connects instantly.  I've tried changing the modem for a  
different one (though still uses the Conexant chipset) but still the  
same problem.  What am I doing wrong and how do I fix this problem?

I can't show logs as I generally find that after a few days logs will  
stop working and show everything to be empty and not even rebooting  
will fix this.

Thanks very much for your help in advance.
