Hello, I keep losing my Internet Connection(DSL) very quickly. Usually after a couple of minutes, it’s absolutely unpredictable. And then, it gets difficult to reconnect. And if I succeed in reconnecting, I again lose the connection quite quickly.
Here are some logs from the ifcfg-dsl0.log:
SuSE Meta pppd (smpppd-ifcfg), Version 1.60.46 on linux-6clg.

I don’t have this problem with my old computer(I guess, Suse 10.3?). And I have this problem with two different modems.
Please help!
