You could also get away with: make xmas

I just did the above (works out to 'cc     xmas.c   -o xmas') on:

2.4.20-28.7  (RH 7.x)
2.6.10-5-386 (ubuntu 5.04)

and it works.  To get rid of those warnings, change 'exit' to 'return' and
put a newline on the last line of the file (just go to the end and hit
'enter').

You've downloaded the xmas program and incurred the wrath of the ghost of
hardware past.

There shouldn't be any relationship between your computer going up and down
and the router (unless you left some details out).  Does your router
automatically reconnect when the connection goes down?

Or is it possible that the router is  dhcp server, too, and only giving out
info to Windows for some reason?
