We're having a similar problem to this, but we've got a stand alone modem - a terayon one. After an hour or so the uplink seems to drop - you can't use the web (servers not found), email goes nowhere, and dns requests fail (running, something like "dig www.bbc.co.uk" on my linux box says the server couldn't be reached. The downlink however remains active - I can send an email from work to my server at home without any problem. I connect through a NAT router, and find that either powercycling the router, or the modem - or getting the router to reboot or renew the dhcp lease brings the connection back. All of these activities renew the ip address lease, and the uplink returns for a while. It started doing this a few weeks ago, and it's getting rather annoying. Any ideas anyone?

Cheers
