Actually, now that you mention it, I've seen something similar to that
on my box. When I reboot from Windows to Linux (I shut down the
Enternet 300 DSL client before rebooting), about every third bootup
into Linux, the ppp0 interface does not come up. Although that could
be a case of SBC's servers not responding fast enough for the pppoE
client on Linux or some sort of timeout problem.
I think I may have seen it happen in the other direction - i.e.,
rebooting from Linux into Windows, the Enternet client hangs - but I
can't be sure, because I have this weird problem in Windows 98 where
sometimes I doubleclick on the Enternet profile and the thing hangs
regardless of whether I've been in Linux or not. So I can't verify
the problem is two-way.
These things - NICs and modems - do tend to hang a lot. I wish I knew
more about exactly how the drivers work with the hardware to cause
this sort of thing. I should do some research on the Net.
Hope I gave the OP some sort of useful suggestions.
