Are you usibg wired or wireless? if wire then i cant see why unless 
chron is doing something weird. if wireless then it could be a shop or 
company turning on their machines and are using your connection by 
mistake suggest a look at security of your router/modem. we have 10 
boxes running anything from linux to windblows all stactic all wireless 
never a prob
