Sorry that this is a little OT.  I could do with some help.
 
I have a BT Speedway ISDN PCI card (aka AVM Fritz card) in my Windows 2000 server.  I connect to BT Internet Anytime using it (NDISWAN connection).  The connection is brought up / down by "Dialer 2000" which I know some of you use (basically is built on top of the normal MS DUN client, but allows for 'redials' automatically / at timed intervals).
 
When I first connect, things work fine and running IPCONFIG gives the following results:
========================
D:\>ipconfig
 
Windows 2000 IP Configuration
 
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:
 
        Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . :
        IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1
        Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
        Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :
 
PPP adapter BT Internet 0800:
 
        Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . :
        IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 213.122.79.30
        Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.255
        Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 213.122.79.30
 
========================
 
But if I disconnect / reconnect I get the following:
D:\>ipconfig
 
Windows 2000 IP Configuration
 
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:
 
        Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . :
        IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1
        Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
        Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :

        Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . :
        IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 0.0.0.0
        Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 0.0.0.0
        Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :
 
PPP adapter ?:
 
        Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . :
        IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 213.122.172.129
        Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.255
        Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 213.122.172.129
 
========================
 
As the server is up & running, it makes / drops the connection during the day and I get more & more of these PPP adapters appearing.  The problem is that my Internet Connection Sharing software does not appear to work properly after this second PPP adapter appears.
 
If I reboot the PC, everything starts working as it should.
 
My thoughts were that the driver for the ISDN card is the source of the problems, but the tech support team for the card say the problem is nothing to do with their s/w.
 
Thoughts / suggestions would be most welcome.
