This sounds like a reasonable explanation, except that subsequently
rebooting the PC should fix the problem.  After all, the modem is on and
powered up so the re-booted PC will see it as soon as it needs to.  This
does not help however (only the "unplug the Enet, re-boot, re-plug the Enet,
re-boot" sequence works).

Would that give me the intermittent problems I've been seeing?  I'd think
that it would be more permanent.

Thanks for the info though,
