Hi Nevyn,

What sort of ADSL device? Internal/External?  (I assume external if you
refer to a router...)How is it connected to your IPCop box? IPSec
bridged?  NAT? How does IPCop then get it's IP address?  Static?  DHCP?

Do you know if you are being assigned a new IP address from your ISP
when this occurs?  (You can check the IPCop box or the router's webpage
config if it is another NAT connection to the IPCop box)

Version of IPCop?  Latest with all updates? (v1.4.13)  Any unofficial
addons that may conflict with the newest kernel added this month?

Also, why would you think that the router dropping the connection would
be normal behaviour?

cheers
