I retract my previous 'happening less' statement regarding 2.4.4rel-10ubuntu2 on 3 UK... Must have just had a few lucky days.

I would note that the dozen or so times I've connected under Windows using the 3 Mobile dialler software (that came built into the modem's pretend CD drive), the connection is good first time, every time - DNS is always fine.

So by all means warn users that the connection is invalid (and ideally provide a nice user-friendly 'reconnect' button), but it seems to me that some PPP setting or communication with the modem/network is not happening under Linux that is happening under Windows.

If found this http://blog.kishfy.com/2006/11/logging-ppp-sessions-in-windows-xp.html to log PPP in XP. Would it be helpful to attach a few Windows PPP connection logs to this bug report? Anything else we could learn from XP whilst I'm getting dirty and booting it?
