I am running Debian on my workstation and firewall at home. My workstation is having the network flake out fairly regularly. Approximately every hour the network will become unusable. If i ifdown eth0 and ifup eth0 it works again. I have been told that it sounds like a DHCP issue, but I'm not sure if that would be a problem with the firewall or with my workstation. When I have my workstation in windows I don't have the problem. I think it's really odd because I haven't really changed anything on my computer for about a week before it started happening. Any ideas? TIA - Kremer
