Neil, I can not put a time to when this started happening, it was way
back and never very frequent, average perhaps every two months at
most. It has never happened when I am working, only when I am away
and the computer is or is not asleep. I have always thought of power
glitches or some glitch at Westnet. It has never been an issue to
worry me.

Hi Severin,
I was wondering – are these freeze-ups something that started
happening in the last year or so?
I know when I first got Broadband in Albany around 4 years ago, my
connection would stay up for many months on end without re-
connecting – then I would get the occasional lock-up which seems to
have got more frequent over the last year. As you say, it is
immediately fixable by re-booting the modem – though it has resulted
in a few extra phone charges when we hadn’t noticed the modem had
locked and the outgoing calls went through Telstra instead of VOIP :o(
I had just put it down to the modem getting a bit old (around 4
years also) – but sometimes I do wonder if it is Telstra playing
silly buggers down at the exchange!
I am with Internode but they don’t have their own gear in the Albany
exchange- so it all goes through the Telstra hardware - I would
guess it is the same for you with Westnet?
So, have you noticed an increase in freeze-ups over the last year or
so?
Cheers
Neil

my D-Link DSL-504 has performed reliably for at least five years.
Very occasional freeze ups for no apparent reason, immediately
fixable by unplugging power and then powering up again.

Hi folks,
Has anyone had any experience with the D-Link DSL-504T Modem ?
I have used one for the last couple of years, but recently been
getting a lot of drop outs.
I get a message stating that I am not connected to the internet.
I either have to pull the power, wait a few minutes and plug back
in (that does not always work) or log into the modem with Safari
and re-boot it.
This happens several times a week, sometimes more than once during
the same evening !
Doesn't seem to matter if I use Mail or Outlook 2011.
Using iMac 2.16 with latest OSX.
