[App_rpt-users] Node Disconnect

okay.. it was a nice try at least :-)

Is there anything you can manually and intentionally do to cause the same behavior? It would be nice to be able to 
re-create the problem reliably.

No, it’s
not a matter of the IP address changing, that hasn’t happened.  It’s
hard to pin down exactly what is causing the short loss of Internet
connectivity since it usually occurs in the middle of the night.

The computer is
located at a mountaintop site and is linked to the Internet through a 5.8 GHz
link to a house with Cox service.  When I check the wireless transceiver logs,
they don’t register any kind of event that would indicate a loss of
connection.  In fact, even though the path is about 14 miles, there is a very
strong signal, well above the noise floor.  Now it’s possible that
there’s an interruption of the Cox service, but there’s no obvious
indication of that. 

I have another
node that I’ll link to the mountaintop node today and see if it’s
dropped in the middle of the night.  It’s located at a different site,
also on Cox.

wait a minute.. I just had a
thought that maybe might help here (or not??):

Perhaps our concept of 'losing the internet connection' needs to be better
defined/understood here...

Do you indeed mean that your cable modem (I am making that assumption based upon
your cox.net email address)

re-establishes its connection with the ISP network on the cable?? If so, then
its likely obtaining a different public

IP address when this occurs, and, if so, thats exactly what would be expected.
How is the connection supposed to

'follow' IP address changes mid-stream??

Or maybe that isnt it at all...

I created a permalink using ilink,13 and I’m still having the same problem with disconnects.  Anyone else have any ideas?
