Well cable and ADSL are two Different things here in the U.S. Cable is
provided by a cable company such as Comcast and ADSL or DSL is
provided by a company like Verizon. The issue may actually be tied to
the use of PPPOE which is PPP over Eathernet. I don't remember all the
technical details, but I believe it has something to do with the way
you connect to the provider's system. I think and someone correct me
if I'm way wrong, but PPPOE is sort of like connecting using dial-up,
but at of course DSL speeds. Maybe a more accurate way to explain it
is the way the connection is negociated.
You shouldn't be having that many issues per day and if you can safely
clear any issues locally, I'd contact the provider and have them check
things out.

I have cable or ADSl as the americans call it I think, smile. It is
strange how we get 4 of 4 bars (I do in my case anyway) but no
connection
I am pleased it is not my mac.
Incidentally as I have the new card in my macbook supporting N, can
I find out what my wireless network uses like a, b g or n and its
speed at all?
Thanks Will

I suspect that is your issue. I've seen that happen here. I don't
know if you have ADSL, but that's what I have here and I setup my
AirPort to stay connected all the time and that could possibly have
something to do with it, but not overly sure at this point. How
often does this happen?
