At the end of May I started using a broadband connection. Mandriva2006 Eclipse broadband D-Link DSL-G604T router. Until recently everything was fine. About a week ago I started having a problem. I start up the computer as normal, then I try to use the internet. (The router was on all the time). The connection fails. So I switch off the router for about half a minute (keeping the computer running) then switch it back on and try again and everything is fine. It stays fine for the whole session. When I have finished I switch off the computer but leave the router on. Later in the day I switch on the computer again, with the same problem and solution. Only by switching the router off for a while and then on again can I get the link to the internet to work. This now happens every time I start up the computer. Please note that I have made no changes to the connections during all this time. For the first three months (end of May to end of August) I had no problems. Now I have to go through this routine every time. I have rung Eclipse who can see no problem with the connection. They tell me that it is all apparently working very well, at a very high speed. I would expect this since I live less than a mile from the exchange. Can anyone suggest anything to help?
