I had an ADSL connection from Mandrake 10.1 (now 10.2), and I would often unplug the RJ45 overnight if the firewall was down. I'd plug it in the following morning and all would be fine. If Kaj's ideas don't help, I suspect you are going to need to provide more information about your modem and ISP.... Hugh
