Very Computer

I have been experiencing some problems with my new linux server, and past
experience has lead me to believe that the help I need may be found here.

I leave my server on 24/7 and it seems to work fine, however, during the
night, around 1:00am or so, friends of mine who attempt to log into the
server have been unsuccessful.  They have tried everything such as FTP, ssh,
and even ping doesn't work.  With each one of these the result is the same,
a timeout error.  I don't understand why my machine cannot even be pinged
???  I haven't ruled out the possiblity that it is my internet connection
going down at night, however, I have never experienced down time like this
ever before.... I haven't had the time to check what is actually happening
overnight, but I thought I may be able to find some answers here....

Thanks for any help...

Check in you system bios to see if the machine is set to sleep after so many
minutes of none use and then disable it.   I had a problem like this on my
work server.
