Guys,

I managed to fix the issue on Windows 7, where network keeps dropping out when trying to disconnect and reconnect the broadband back

Also the 'Unidentified Network' seems to have gone off

After many unsuccessful attempts from the net, at fixing this damn issue, figured out by a random trail-and-error, that disabling 'IPv6' from the LAN adaptor fixes the issue.

But set the values for IPv4 ( IP, Subnet, gateway, DNS etc)

So, those who have newer onboard or PCI adaptors with IPV6, disable it (by unchecking) and restart modem and PC

After this, i can disconnect PPPOE dialer and reconnect any number of times without any issues. No need to restart PC or modem for getting the connections back

Tested it for last 3 days, its running fine (hopefull)

Hope it is useful

yup, i believe this IPv6 thing is a known issue caused by some modem models and not a problem with your PC or Win7 really...

But i didnt have any such network issues ever on Vista in the last 2 years in am using it

So, its definitely something to do with 7
