This is quite a recent thing, which never used to happen. Now when i use the Update Manager it works for a few meg of download, then the connection drops. No internet. As you can imagine this makes any decent sized update a massive chore.
At first the only solution i knew was reboot. Which works. Then i found that by Disconnecting then re-Connecting the connection using the usual router web browser interface, the internet connection came back.
I'm no network expert but it's almost like the Update Manager is giving the router a stuck session. Is anyone else getting this?
Thanks in advance.
Notes: I'm on 8.04. Using a wired connection to a Belkin Wireless G Modem Router. I think the part # is F5D7632UK4A. Bog standard nForce integrated NIC.
