Dear ,
I don`t know how can I really ask my question.Situation with internet provider: in windows when I can`t connect to internet windows xp or 7 give mistake number , but how can I know in linux why I can`t connect I don`t know.
Another question:
Can I connect with windows xp , but using comfortly antix 15 ?

My internet provider drops it's server every friday night around 7pm like clock work.

My wife runs windows and I run AntiX. I have to reboot the router by disconnecting the power jack going into the back of it to reset the server connection to my internet provider. This has become routine for me.

Wicd tells me my router is gone.
Windows tells my wife wifi is gone.

Simple.

Can i reach my router?
ping 192.168.1.1

Can I reach my DNS server? Is DNS server responding?
whois google.com
(someone else can confirm or refute this tactic. I believe lookup requires DNS in order to resolve whois.arin.net hostname)

If certain website {e.g. google.com} is slow to load, or seems unreachable:
traceroute
========= SCRAPER REMOVED AN EMBEDDED LINK HERE ===========
url was:"http://www.google.com"
linktext was:"http://www.google.com"
====================================

(traceroute isn't pre-installed in antix, so"sudo apt install traceroute". It's a tiny 57KB package)

"sudo apt install iftop" is a tiny 68KB package
and typing"iftop" in a terminal displays local{-}remote connections in realtime

And put the router and modem on a UPS [uninterruptible power supply] to stop lock up from voltage drops.
