[Voyage-linux] Better network stability

[Robert]

Hello Guys,

I'm looking for some advice on how to make the networking a little more fail-safe on our systems.

I have systems which are out in the field and they seem to intermittently lose their internet connection and stop talking home until they're rebooted.

I've not really been able to replicate the scenario to know exactly what's causing it but it seems to be due to the router-modem rebooting, our voyage box then doesn't lease a new IP from the modem or something like that, perhaps an IP conflict? I don't really know.

Either way, I'm looking to make the networking a little more robust so that if the router-modem looses it's net connection, or reboots our system will pick it's connection back up again.

Can anyone advise on how to configure a slightly more robust setup to ensure the connection is picked up again as soon as it become available?

Cheers, let me know if you need any more information.

Rob
