Hey. I've been searching online and in irc rooms for an answer to this:

After a few hours (or sometimes a few minutes) my internet connection just drops. I loose all connection.

I have a cable modem.

I usually have to su root..and then restart my eth0. Any clue as to how to stop this? I think proftpd isn't starting or working correctly when I'm booting..so that might be the problem. But I don't know how to start it correctly.

Thanks

Any error messages in /var/log/messages when the connection drops?

What errors are you getting for proftpd?
