Lose Internet Connection exactly each hour on the hour

[rangus]

Just installed Amahi on Fedora 14. Ever since I disabled dhcp on my router the internet connection drops for a few minutes on each machine in the house. This happens at exactly the same time each hour. I ran the interactive network troubleshooter and passed all stages. (A great tool, btw).

Anyone heard of this? I searched the forums/faqs for keywords but could not find anything resembling my problem.

Update. I disabled dhcp and dns in amahi and went back to dhcp enabled in my router (cisco dpc3825). My internet connection does not drop out anymore. It must have been something with letting amahi do dhcp ??? Bummer I can not use the full benefits of the amahi server until I figure this out. Note, Amahi is installed with Fedora 14 on this system.

Solved! It was not Amahi but a setting in my Cisco router. The setting was under LAN setup and the dhcp lease was set to 60 minutes. I'm not sure why this had an effect while using the Amahi server since I had dhcp disabled in the router??? Anyway, I will fire up the Amahi server again now and hope for the best.
