Hi [snip] > Actually, it sounds like your provider actively mucks with the link > after a certain time - are these "residential" pipes? If so, they may do This is possible, but I did not verify it (what kind of "mucking" could cause such kind of behaviour?). most of them are "better" residental pipes. > that to prevent you from running servers.

The local IP stays the same, Gateway IP stays the same, Gateway MAC stays the same, don't know about the "modem", maybe it needs an arp-query from the client from time to time... (Just guessing) The problem seems to occur only on Samsung modems. > (And on Windows you'll never see the problem, since you typically reboot > more frequently than every 10 hours anyway... :-) Cannot confirm this as i don't use windows. I heard of a friend of mine, that he has running a windows ftp-server for days on a pipe from the same provider with another modem (a Com21) and that he is not experiencing any of the problems mentioned.
