Hi last night, with some really good help, I got internet connection sharing up on my debian box. My wife and daughter's win boxes were able to surf the web with me at the same time. Really cool. But during the night the ISP dropped my connection. This morning I initiate dialup again. It dials the ISP, I hear the handshake and then the connection drops. Now I can't connect to my ISP in Debian. I'm writing this from my Drake 7.2 partition.
Also in Debian I can't ping my wife and daughter's winpcs.
Any idea what happened and how to fix?
I'd really appreciate it. I was a hero for about two hours last night...of course after about 10 days of not-hero status.
Please Help.

is the dropped connection still a live process?

maybe needs killing

or the network process needs restarting
