internet connection

[Unknown]

i'm running ubuntu 9.10 on several pc's and often ssh into
one from another.  however, if one does a "switch user", the
internet connection goes down, dumping any user who had
ssh'd into that pc.

this didn't used to be the case, certainly not on ubuntu
8.10 (not sure about 9.04).  then you could just turn on the
pc and the internet connection would be made whether or not
anyone was logged in.

any way around this issue?

tia,
