Network Bridge and ADSL connection

[pigdog]

Good Day,

I have two networks running one is gigabit which connect my two servers and the other is 100mb to the client PC's my one server is bridging the gigabit and the 100Mb network. Everything works fine as long as all the computers stay on.

If one of the computers (especially on the gigabit network) restart or shut down the ADSL connection is terminated on the server that is bridging the network.

At one stage I had the same server bridging a wireless network as well and the connection was also dropped every time a new wireless card connected to the network.

Is there any way I can get around this problem?

Thanks

Have you considered using a wireless router? They are relatively inexpensive (<$50.00 US) and will allow you to connect to wired and wireless networks.

The ADSL connection will stay alive even if the servers plugged into them reboot. The only time it will go down is if the router is restarted or the power goes out.

I have always had my connection setup this way. It is very reliable.
