My DSL modem was disconnected, temporarily, from my phone line. When reconnected, it failed to work. DSL, ENET, and ACT lights are on. I've restarted the modem and PC; the computer says the network is connected.
When I open IE, it says detecting proxy at the bottom, the page never loads. No other services connect to the internet.
"repairing" the connection doesn't work either.
This happens all the time, whenever the phone line is simply disconnected. I can never figure out how I fix it, it just suddenly works after I try many different things.
How might this happen and how do I fix?

Sounds like it's your provider. More than likely they have a timeout threshold set to low on your line, i.e. if modem is disconnected for long periods of time, the line is turned off and the ip goes back into the pool. PLugging the modem back in and waiting a period of 10 to 30 mins should enable it.

Some DSL modems have the ability to your to monitor or view the login attempts. I might be a password error, or a connectivity timeout problem.
I'd work with your DSL provider while you are trying to get it working and let them tell you what they are seeing from their viewpoint.

Install the software again from which you got from your ISP. A Cd.
