Internet Connection restarts on IMDB Scan
#1
SVN 14704 PPA, Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy on Eee PC 900:

Whenever I scan for new content (IMDB) it makes my internet connection restart. Resulting in a messy library that I can't update. I will check now if it messes up when I don't use my router (Linksys WRT54G v.7.00.04). Anyone experiencing something similar?

/var/log/messages:
Code:
Aug  7 17:36:55 4000BABA kernel: [235787.617498] eth0: link down.
Aug  7 17:36:59 4000BABA kernel: [235790.892739] eth0: link up.

This only happens when when I scan in XBMC.

I've seen that with servers of mine that have a flaky eth cable/card. I think I ended up replacing the card, but I'd try try the cable first.

The stock linksys firmware for that router is flaky as well. There's some good opensource firmwares out there (use at own risk). I think I'm running Thibor on mine, which is just a patched version of the stock on but works very well.
