What kind of net problems?  Can you be more specific about symptoms, and
how you're connecting?

Some tools to know about are

/sbin/ifconfig to tell you whether your connection is up or not
ping to test reachability
mtr to see exactly where packets get lost

I don't know of anything written.

Peace,
