connection problems



Hi all,


My first posting to this list so go easy..

I have a debian 2.2 (woody) box which has trouble keeping its ethernet
connection.

It runs a adaptec 2100s running raid 5 Pent4 1.5GHZ Processor 1gb
Memory and rtl8139 network cards.

(Some people may complain about the network cards, but I have installed
over 100 of these machines this year, with the same dsl carrier and not
had a problem.)

The problem that I am having is about every 2-3 minutes, the ethernet
connection drops out. I have written a link checker script which will
restart the networking when the connection dies.

Now this is only a temp fix, its still a pain in the bum as connections
are terminated.

Does anybody have a fix for this? or do I have to provide more
information?


Regards

Ian Millsom
