Any kind of debugging logs? From TinyMUSH or from syslog/messages/whatever? If not crank up the logging on TinyMUSH. Are you running DSL using PPPoE? Any kind of DHCP from your ISP? If your DHCP lease length is short enough your ISP might inadvertently be disconnecting them during a renew of you DHCP IP Address. Are you using port forwarding from any device (a router) to you machine? Is there a DHCP server running on it causing a blip on your NIC? IOW, unless you can see some diagnostics from you processes or machines system logs relating to it... its hard to know. -- greg, greg@gregfolkert.net Novell's Directory Services is a competitive product to Microsoft's Active Directory in much the same way that the Saturn V is a competitive product to those dinky little model rockets that kids light off down at the playfield. -- Thane Walkup
