I use a router for my DSL connection and havent used the modems, the router has a cut off for the connection after a certain period of time and it drops the connection if I set it to 0 then it keep the connection up permanently which is what ive done.
Can you get into the settings for the modem to see if it has an idle time setting and if so set this to 0 see if that helps
if not can you try your modem on another persons PC who has DSL see if its the modem thats faulty.
You could also try using someone elses modem on your PC to see if its your ISP
Once youve done this youll nail where the problem lies and sort it from there
If your still having problems ask on the forum on
www.adslguide.org you dont need to register i dont think
