Hello, it seems we may have a similar problem, for me it also happens
if I leave my connection unused for any significant amount of time. The
activity light completely stops blinking on my dsl modem and if I open
any browser it can't find the connection. After I continue opening
closing an internet connecting software like live update or napster,
aol, ect. ect. It finaly starts to as it appears to wake up, as it
seems. I have tried everything spyware, antivirus reformating the
connection tech supp.

signed,
