Any DSL Techies?

[richmwill]

My DSL connection is really agitating me. For the past week, when I start-up my system, my DSL connection (Verizon) disconnects and will not come back on. The ONLY way to get it back on (that I've noticed) is to actually dial-in to my provider, using my dial-up modem. Once the dial up connection completes, I get the DSL service back and available. Virus-scans, Spyware, and Adware scans show nothing. I've tried Googling for any idea of what's going on, no luck. Anyone have a clue what this could be?
