Can any one help resolve this morning connection problem.
When I wake in the morning , my DSL connection is lost. If my pc is on a stand alone basis , then I can merely re-sign in WinPoet (Verizon) and the connection is reestablished. However, when I have my Linksys router (connected to 1 other PC), getting reconnected involves undoing all the connections, getting the DSL working on a stand alone basis and then hooking up the router and resetting winipcfg and/or going to the Linksys set up site. The connection is never lost during the day and seems only to occur in the middle of the night. Verizon doesn't seem to know what the problem is. Last night I left the connection on with "never" turn off hard disks, thinking that might help . It didn't work. I don't have a "standby mode" on my Compaq Pentium PC.
I use Windows 98
Compaq Presario, Pentium
Westell White Modem
Linksys 4 port router.
