I have a cable modem connection that feeds into a home router/wireless hub, 
which lets me connect simultaneously with a desktop computer and laptop. I'm 
running Pan on the laptop and connect wirelessly in my apartment.

I executed "service network restart" as root, and it gave me this error:

Shutting down interface eth0:  hermes @IO 0x100: Timeout waiting for command 
completion.
eth0: Error -110 disabling MAC port

Otherwise, the service restarted successfully. But my Internet connection 
still did not work.

Ah, sounds similar. What workarounds have you been using? Should I lower the 
number of max-connections from 4 to, say, 2?

Thanks for your help,
Adrian
