Why does this happen?

Okay I have broadband at home. Works okay, some problems with it but that is on another thread.

I have a works laptop that every day I dial in via my home telephone number. The laptop uses dial up rather than broadband so therefore I cannot use my home telephone at the same time.

Now the problem is, when I dial my work laptop in, after it has finished, disconnected and unplugged etc. Not connected to the telephone line in any shape or form.

I cannot get my Broadband back without turning the router on/off and rinse and repeat 5-8 times.............

Any idea? driving me nuts......

I have always lost conection to Broadband when using works laptop to dial-in.

It is not a new thing. Just decided to post this and see if any help possible.

Could be the filter then. As not got a filter on the master socket I used, just on the one upstairs that was connected to the router via a Telephone extension cable
