okay.. it was a nice try at least :-)<br><br>Is there anything you can manually and intentionally do to cause the same behavior?

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.</span></font></p>

<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><font color="blue" face="Comic Sans MS" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; color: blue;">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. </span></font></p>

dropped in the middle of the night. It’s located at a different site,
also on Cox.</span></font></p>

<p class="ecxMsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><font face="Verdana" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">wait a minute.. I just had a
thought that maybe might help here (or not??):<br>
<br>
Perhaps our concept of 'losing the internet connection' needs to be better
defined/understood here...<br>
<br>
Do you indeed mean that your cable modem (I am making that assumption based upon
your cox.net email address)<br>
re-establishes its connection with the ISP network on the cable?? If so, then
its likely obtaining a different public<br>
IP address when this occurs, and, if so, thats exactly what would be expected.
How is the connection supposed to<br>
'follow' IP address changes mid-stream??<br>
<br>
Or maybe that isnt it at all...<br>
