Hi I have a PC with dual core E2500 with 2 GB RAM, 250 Gig HDD dual boot with WinXP and Debian 5.0. I have BSNL Broadband connection with the modem connected to COMPEX NIC interface card. During Initial set up itself pppoecinf done and the connection was set to come up boot time itself. No probelm for past 3 months.
Suddenly, now for past 3 days when I boot into the connection goes off and on randomly making continuous browsing impossible. What I meant was, the five lights in the fron of the modem (Huawei Smart AX MT 800- Year 2005 Vintage), one for power, two each for the DSL and LAN , link and activity, the DSL link light goes on and off and browsing does not take place. Okay , I boot into windows. Here also blinking of DSL goes on, but once it is connected, it is steady. Here I connect it like dial up, I made a shortcut for connecting Broadband on clicking. I am unable to understand why in Debian it is unsteady and rock steady in WinXP which should be vice versa. Can anybody tell me why this is happening?
