[CLUE-Tech] eth0 keeps dropping, whats up with that?

[Jason Canney]

I have a distribution of linux that when I reboot or run ifconfig eth0 up it
brings up the interface correctly, and I am able to ssh to the machine.
About an hour or so later, the interface drops and I am unable or
disconnected from the machine,,,, any thoughts?

The machine is a dell and has a netgear (bay) NIC.  This equipment worked
with redhat,,,, once I switched to madeinlinux.com I picked up this problem.


thanks
