Hi, I have an ADSL modem using the Australian ISP Telstra Bigpond. I have 3 computers in my house, so I use one of them (Win2k) as a NAT box. However due to Telstra's wonderfully crap service I generally get disconnected every day or so, but the connection *won't redial* unless I reboot the computer! If I don't reboot it just sits there trying to connect over and over...

The access software I'm using is RasPPPoE, and the modem is plugged into a USB NIC. Telstra won't help me because they "don't support" RasPPPoE (the software they gave me didn't share and was unstable).

Does anybody have experience with this problem?
