I believe what keeps up the line is the multicast igmp query - shown below - which i get every 2 minutes. If the timeout is left at 120 is doesnt go down. But when set to 110, it does. My reasoning is that the multicast query from ntl is what keeps it up. Iv'e tried using the 'active-filter' option of pppd but this can only be used by NET-BSD based systems. Anytime i use it pppd screams about the option. I'll just have to see how i can work around the packet query i receive. Reject it at the firewall perhaps. Hmmmmmmm....

Very strange. You could try 300 seconds, which was what I had before and it work quite well. I think there something else going on with your system. My "ultimate" solution was getting a DSL line and using PPPoe with a 24/7 connection. ;)
