Hi,
I have a business sdsl line and a consumer cable line which I want to balance traffic on. But if I configure the consumer cable line with a static ip address (which was given to me when I had dhcp enabled first) this connection drops after a while. (ebox 0.11.101)
I have the feeling that my cable provider drops the connection in someway if there is no dhcp client listening. Or is that not possible?
But if I configure my line for dhcp I cannot configure a gateway because ebox restricts that (which does make sense of course, but just a 'are u sure' would have been better in my case)
I'm now considering of configuring it as static in ebox, and modify that after each restart/reload of ebox manually on the commandline to make a dhcp client listening. At least I can find out if my connection drops this way also (although it used to be stable when it was our only line)
Or are there better ways to solve/debug this?
