My DSL connection every once in awhile disconnects?

I was wondering if anyone has a solution or is encountering the same problem?

I'm not sure what's causing it?

Is there a program to maybe force a "reconnect" if it disconnects?

thanks for any help

Which OS are using?

In OS X, in the Network pane of a system preferences on, under the PPPoE tab, there's a button labeled "PPPoE Options". If you click that, you'll find an option to disconnect when idle, which you probably want to un check, and an option to connect automatically when needed, which might well do what you want.

Panther, and I have that unchecked

it occurs very seldomly. My main question is how to have it automatically reconnect if something like this happens.

I have the "automatic reconnect" checkbox in the PPPoE settings checked, but that obviously didn't work when I was disconnected? ??

is there a fix for this? or maybe a 3rd party prog.?
