I was wondering if anyone has had trouble with Shaw cable internet service while running Ubuntu 7.10 ? My cable modem keeps rebooting itself, according to Shaw's support person. He thought it was a power issue or maybe a loose connection within my house, but its not. When I ran Knoppix 5.0.1 Live CD I had no trouble using the Internet at all. So, I assumed something was corruped with Ubuntu 7.10, and I re-installed it. The problem continues, but only with Ubuntu 7.10. I have both XP and Slackware 11 also installed on the same hard drive, and neither one of them has any Internet trouble. I have used Ubuntu 7.10 for a couple of months with no trouble, then, the next morning, the Shaw cable modem keeps rebooting and my Internet connection is useless. Has anyone any idea why? Is there a solution ?
Running Kubuntu 7.10 beta 5 (updated). No problems like that. I did have nasty problems after the install of actual 7.10 though. The new Fedora too. Looked very much like problems with the inits.
