photographs of the best time you had
window smudged by the speed

I'm running Ubuntu server 6.10 and if I don't have any outgoing traffic on the machine, it will lose connectivity (the web pages its serving won't load, can't ftp/ssh in, etc) until I ping out from the machine. The internet connection is still working and other computers connected to the same switch still work. How would I go about fixing this, or if nobody has any ideas, how would I go about setting it up so it pings a website every minute starting when it boots up?
