Not a user of DSL myself, but... Persistent Connections With this check-box marked, when a connection is broken by means other than manually terminating the session, EnterNet 300 will automatically attempt to re-establish the connection.
Persistent connection support, from the Advanced Settings menu on EnterNet 300, is not very persistent. Enternet 300 will retry the connection a few times after the server disconnects, and then report the connection was dropped. There are applets out there that will perform actions (e.g. push buttons) when specified windows (e.g. dialog boxes) open. I can not recall any specific ones, but I am sure a little searching will yield something. Using one of these utilities should allow you to automatically click the reconnect button as soon as the Enternet 300 reports the connection was dropped. -Jeff -----Original Message----- From: Mark Worley [mailto:worleym@;swbell.net] Sent: Friday, October 18, 2002 08:05 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [sambar] OFFTOPIC - DSL Connection problem question {02} I had the same problem with SWBELL. I ended up buying an SMC router that Microcenter had on sale, for 20 bucks, It automatically reconnects when the line is dropped. The only problem is that you can't set the time between re-trys so occasionally about once a month I have to do a manual reset on it because the line was dropped and down for too long. Also enternet300 has a couple of options. I believe one is reconnect and the other is persistent connections. I apologize if this is not correct, I haven't used enternet300 since I got the router, Since ppoe is built in to it, good luck. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:list.operator@;sambar.ch]On Behalf Of Dave Crawford Sent: Friday, October 18, 2002 6:22 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [sambar] OFFTOPIC - DSL Connection problem question {01} I recently changed my ISP, and now have a DSL connection. The PPoE software in Enternet 300. The problem I'm having is that the connection keeps getting dropped. What can I do to make it re-connect? Right now I have to run to the basement, click on "OK", and click on "Connect". Does anyone know how this could be automated so it will reconnect itself once the line gets dropped?
