You should be able to simulate the problem ... (or get around it) Using D6 and the WinINet.dll interface - else get the JEDI version of the WinInet.dll calls.
Then make calls to InternetDial, InternetHangUp, InternetGoOnline, InternetAutodial etc. You will need to check the MSDN docs on these. Note that InternetGetConnectedState is unreliable on Win95 systems etc. Don't know about Win2000 - maybe it uses this on Win2000 and this returns the wrong state just like Win95 so it gets stuffed up. I would be keen to know the outcome ... (Having used these okay on Win95 but not yet tested it on Win2000). Indy would not help in this case, as it does not use these calls at all. Do you use a proxy at all and is there security present? As one of the options (INTERNET_AUTODIAL_FAILIFSECURITYCHECK) if specified on the dialling options may give this kind of result (Just guessing).

I have tried this approach already, anyway Outlook Express does an automatic dialup every 30 minutes which would suggest that these settings are OK. The problem occurs on several machines that I have tested under Win 2000 (both Professional and Advanced Server), yet I run other software incorporating the same component on a few hundred other machines around the country without this kind of problem; however the existing version of the software does not run under MDAC 2.6 because of the ADO bug, so I have not exposed widely to Win 2000 before.
