Ok, finally go the error again. As soon as I started up real player. The ADSL connection starts when the machine is booted so there is no routing table before the adsl connection. Maybe someone can understand from the logfile what is happening. When the connection breaks ppp0 is still there. Takes a few seconds for it to dissappaer. One other thing I noticed is that when I do ping the modem, even though the "Host is unreachable" message appears, I still see the "LAN" and "Line TX" lights flashing on the modem during the ping.
