hi all!
i have installed dharma beta 2 twice, and after a couple of days use, the internet connection stops working.
The only thing I do every time is, enable subtitles add-on and gmail add-on, update the system (sudo apt-get update) and install vim and samba, so that I can see xbmc drives from my windows 7 pc (I add an [xbmc] section in smb.conf, and restart smbd). Oh and change something in grub (nopat parameter) so that xbmc actually shows up on my tv.
Any ideas what I could be doing wrong? why does the internet connection get screwed up??

thanks!

edit:mind you, samba keeps working normally after internet is off. I can ssh and all from within my LAN, but i can't ping anywhere (it doesn't seem to be a DNS problem, as I ve also tried pinging an IP address directly)
it seems the culprit was the 'allow external programs to control xbmc' option in settings.. It seems to be working now!
