    Thanks Ronjor could'nt get any help over there.Does it sound like a dsl , or pc problem?I go maybe 3 weeks with no problem then it pops up again.It's no problem until I lose the network connections window,which to me with my limited knowledge sounds like a pc issue.

    I'm not sure Frank. Your network connection should not disappear like that. As to the cause---?
    I would surely talk to Verizon in case they have run across this before.
    Do you have to log in each time you connect?

    I had this too and it was related to my firewall rules and the fact that my router was blocking pings...maybe if you have a router it could be the same issue...

    You could try putting a shortcut to the icon on your desktop and see if it sticks.
    Right click on your desktop,new, shortcut and find the icon you click on to get online. Should be in program files, Verizon, etc.

    Make sure everything is plugged in good and tight.

    Ronjor,I dont want to complicate this,but I'm compelled in the name of fairness to tell the latest. Turned on the computer,verizon icon did not show up in right taskbar ,signifying I was connected.In the past I could'nt get online when this happened.Usually got a message saying I was not connected.But today,went to my mozilla icon,and here I am telling you what happened.ps. network connections read empty. o_O It works so I'm happy. :D
