You definitely need that, so if you got rid of it, put
it back.  It just can't work without that, especially if
you have a cacheing name server on the Linux host.

Now you need to make sure that your Windows machines
are not giving up too soon.  Someone already posted the
registry setting, you probably need that too.

If that doesn't work, then a tcpdump of the PPP link
while the problem is happening would be cool, though
it's difficult to get that to work in my experience,
since tcpdump doesn't like interfaces that go up and down.
