DSL connection problem in Ubuntu
Recently I installed the latest version of Ubuntu. I used pppoeconf to configure BSNL's DSL broadband connection. Things were working fine till yesterday. Then suddenly the net connection started getting disconnected automatically every 5 minutes or so. After getting disconnected, automatic re-connection happens in a short time. Since my machine is dual boot, I tried winxp and found that the connection is stable in it. But i love to work with ubuntu. What could be the possible solutions for this problem?

huh, so is this 'network-manager' not of much use later? or is it possible to correct this by changing some configuration settings?
Does tinkering with something called lcp solve this; i saw a reference to this among the output of 'plog' in terminal after the connection was terminated?

Re: DSL connection problem in Ubuntu
Hey this is interesting. My doubt, this network-manager thingy doesnt have anything to do with our connectivity? I am connected through router mode, can i safely uninstall this once and forever?
Replies appreciated as usual ...

Re: DSL connection problem in Ubuntu
Try running the 'sudo pppoeconf' again, it will be alright. This used to happen with me, but not anymore.
Though this doesn't happen very often, but whenever it does, running the command helps.

sidux != newbies
mandriva != difficult to use
urpmi = deb
