Loss of conn (not spoffing or flood)

Hi there,

i've been getting regular loss of connection on my Belkin F5D7630-4a. The lights all stay lit (inc sync), but i get lose connection in the status page on the router.

Usually happens every 10 - 20 mins and the log always starts off with "ATM1 stop PPP" - no mention of the flodds/spoofs as in other d/c issues in the forum

ie
25.07.2006 22:41:25 ATM1 get IP:82.2.126.101
25.07.2006 22:41:25 MTU is 1454.
25.07.2006 22:41:20 ATM1 start PPP
25.07.2006 22:41:07 ATM1 stop PPP
25.07.2006 22:21:14 ATM1 get IP:82.2.58.30
25.07.2006 22:21:14 Setting MTU as 1454.
25.07.2006 22:21:14 MTU is 0.
25.07.2006 22:21:09 ATM1 start PPP
25.07.2006 22:19:33 ATM1 get IP:82.12.246.145
25.07.2006 22:19:33 Setting MTU as 1454.
25.07.2006 22:19:33 MTU is 0.
25.07.2006 22:19:31 ATM1 start PPP
25.07.2006 22:05:54 ATM1 get IP:82.2.124.69
25.07.2006 22:05:54 MTU is 1454.
25.07.2006 22:05:50 ATM1 start PPP
25.07.2006 22:05:38 ATM1 stop PPP

I have cooled the router, problem reoccurs.
Rebooted it - problem reoccurs.
Assigned static ip/assigned ip - problem reoccurs.
Tried wifi and hard-wired - problem reoccurs.

Any ideas??

Many thanks in advance (just lost conn again and thought I submitted this under the networking section, apologies for posting in wrong section)

to Cable Forum

Is it the router or the cable connection? If you remove the router do you still have connection issues. At least that will help you to stop blaming the wrong thing.

hi ther,

thanks for the reply. I have removed the phone socket faceplate and have a new filter plugged into the engineers test socket, replaced the cable from the filter to the modem and also replaced the LAN cable (though it also happens with wireless).

Looking at the log, all of a sudden (anywhere between a few mins and an hour) the net connection stops, and the "ATM1 Stop PPP" appears, then it reconnects and away we go, but this interupts gaming, emails and downloads

I can't see it being an ISP issue as the log says ATM1 Stop PPP, which would seem like a problem at my end??!??

Have you tried clearing the router log?

I had that problem with a Netgear a couple of years ago whenever the log got huge, & that seemed to fix it.

hi,

yeah, i updateed firmware, and reset the router a few times and so it has not been more than about 50 lines in the log, shall try a manual clear now and see if any difference.

It does seem odd though as the sync light is always on (so not an isp issue?), just the router seems to decide to do this ATM1 stop PPP

/pulling hair out

cheers

hmm, after regular atm1 stop ppp's all morning (usually every 10 mins or so) i turned off dchp and assigned a static ip and have been running constantly since 9.14am. Let's hope this has done the trick.

Will let you know and thanks for the replies in the manetime

Cheers
