I was using Netway but swapped to Wavespeed about 8 months ago. originally no problems, but after a couple of months kept losing connection.

I went to i-choice logon page and each time the (old) Netway box was checked, as I was no longer a subscriber obviously I wasn't logging into Netway. Logging back into Wavespeed got me back online.

I found no reason for this, but deleted all network settings on desktops, laptop, netbook, phone, internet radio, reset router to factory settings but problem continued for a few more days, then disappeared.

Now, 5 or 6 months on, its back - not as often but twice today I've had to reconnect to Wavespeed (router attempting to connect to Netway).

I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 & Debian Lenny on desktops, Ubuntu 9.10 on laptop, Ubuntu Netbook remix, with Windows Mobile on phone, Cyta's Thomson 585v7 is the router.

Any suggestions please?

Thanks for the post, but I've already tried that (also stopped extensions like Firefox Sync).

I installed Opera for when the connection went down, and it does seem that the DHCP is being released and attempting to take out a new connection with Netway instead of Wavespeed but I don't understand how or why -  it doesn't seem to follow the normal length of DHCP lease.

But it also hasn't happened since I put my original post up.
