  • does it work when you disable and enable network manager? Click the top right icon for networking (the "up and down arrows" icon), select Enable Networking to uncheck/disable it. Select Enable again to check/enable it. – Savvas Radevic Jan 27 '12 at 10:36

  • (1) Need more info :) When the internet goes down, open a terminal, run these commands: http://pastebin.com/h1fGQmu9 - Save the output of commands in a text file on your Desktop (and the contents of dmesg.log). Restart your pc to have a working connection, open your temporary file and paste the output in a new pastebin at www.pastebin.com (2) This might sound stupid, but try it if it's a desktop: Shut down your pc and turn off your router. Unplug from power source/socket (important), leave it for about 2 minutes. Reconnect/Power up everything and boot again. – Savvas Radevic Jan 27 '12 at 14:17

Please try these two solutions. Unfortunately I don't have a mobile broadband connection to try them out.

Right-click on the NetworkManager applet in Gnome, and select Edit Connections. Highlight "System eth0" and click Edit.

Go to the IPv4 Settings tab Click the Routes button Make sure the checkbox "Use this connection only for resources on its network" is CHECKED. Click OK to save the setting.

Then make sure that the checkbox is NOT checked for "apply settings to all users", and click Apply.

Otherwise, the setting above cannot be changed by an ordinary non-root user (it won't save the changes). Unchecking this allows the setting to be changed for the logged in user and therefore everything will work.

Now, time to apply the trick.. In PPP settings tab, disable “Use Point-Point Encryption (MPPE)” as follows.
