Our cable internet service goes out frequently (and probably even more |
2 |
frequently now that winter has come to OKlahoma.) When it goes out, |
3 |
pretty much everything on my Gentoo system slows down. It's gotten to |
4 |
where just to get an application (like gnumeric) to open I have to su - |
5 |
to root and shut down /etc/init.d/net.eth0 until the Internet comes back |
6 |
on. This morning the internet was out and I'd shut down net.eth0 and |
7 |
then tried to run monodevelop and it refused to start giving me some |
8 |
message about my PC's hostname not being set correctly in /etc/hosts. I |
9 |
checked it and /etc/hosts was correct. Must just be a glitch with |
10 |
monodevelop. My question is what is it about Gentoo that relies so |
11 |
heavily on connecting to the internet? My network was running just fine |
12 |
- just the connection between the cable modem and the internet was down, |
13 |
but everything inside my router should have been fine... |
