We have a tunnel machine at work thats running iproute2 and each gre tunnel is connected to a Cisco 1720 Router for our home T1 connections Here''s the config for my T1 ip tunnel add hugo mode gre remote 208.179.32.210 local 216.116.96.22 ttl 255 ip addr add 192.168.1.1 dev hugo ip link set hugo up ip link set hugo mtu 1514 ip route add 10.10.1.0/24 dev hugo Every so often my network at home looses connection to the tunnel. To fix this somebody at work from the 192.168.1.0/24 network has to ping 10.10.1.1 and then my tunnel comes write back up. I know its a configuration on the tunnel box because before we had a Cisco 2610 doing the tunnel connections for us and our links never dropped has anybody ever experienced these problems before?
