[Snort-users] (A little off topic but not really) Connection dropping.

I'm using iptables on a redhat 8.0 machine to route my cable connection to the rest of the lan. This has been working great for almost a year now. Snort is running on the same box and logging to a MySQL server on another machine. The problem I am having is the connection gets dropped every few minutes. I have to do ifconfig eth1 down, ifconfig eth1 up, route add default gateway 1.2.3.4, then everything works fine (for another few minutes) or I can just wait 5 or 10 minutes and the connection comes back up. I wanted to know if I can have snort log every packet that comes in or goes out on eth1 (or if I should just use ethereal) to see why this is happening. I also need to know what to look for. Any ideas or if any of you have had this same problem, let me know.  

Thanks

Matt
