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 ?

Sounds very strange and hard to imagine how your system is causing the modem to reboot.
Have you tried running wireshark or tcpdump to see what are the last few packets you send out before the modem reboots?
Are you using a router or directly connected to the modem?

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.
Later Mike
