Wow, the following information is pretty marvelous. I've no idea the details
of the ISP is so readily available.
It also indeed seems odd that if the computer will somehow jump to dialup on
its own accord. Right now, I've just tried the most primitive thing: I've
pulled the plug from my faxmodem and I haven't lost the connection for a
day. Hope this will be the solution.
If I drop connection again, I will uninstall the dialup option like what
Ingeborg said. And there are no dialup connections installed under Internet
options.
I will keep a copy of route print. Hopefully I won't lose my connection
again and so I don't need to compare the difference between the temp.txt.
Thank you for all your suggestions.

Frank,
From what I find I don't believe the OP is using ADSL but is using
cable, which in
no way could interfere with dialup. Well, I guess I shouldn't say "in no
way", I've
seen stranger things happen.

Hello,
My pc is win98se and I have a broadband internet connection.
I have been using the broadband for a few years. And since the
beginning of
this year, my internet connection will be intermittently lost. At
first, I
thought something was wrong with the modem, which is terayon TA-102. I
have
called the ISP to replace it. However, the problem is still there.
Then I
tried to get used to it. Whenever I lose the connection, I will need to
reboot my computer to get the connection back (the modem does not need
to be
flipped off then on).
I called the technical support again today, and we've looked at the
modem
and it didn't appear that my modem was failing to provide a signal for
me.
Then I run winipcfg and see that there are 3 entries: PPP Adapter.,
Microsoft TV/Video Connection and Realtek 8139-series PCI NIC. PPP
adapter
is for dialup connection and Realtek is the network card for broadband.
The
technical support girl said win98se will sometimes switch from the
network
card to PPP adapter, although she doesn't know under what circumstances
this
will happen. And the problem I've got is because my computer has
switched
on its own accord from the network card to PPP adapter.
I have the same Realtek NIC and an ISA fax/modem in a Win98SE box.
FWIW, I have never had the problem you describe. In any case I can't
understand why the dial-up adapter should grab hold of your Internet
connection. Do you see any connection attempts in your modemlog? Is
there an rnaapp task running when you lose your ADSL connection (type
Ctrl+Alt+Del to see the running tasks)?
