Off topic but desperate :-)

this is about a dsl modem / router problem.

the dsl modem has two led's - (ALCATEL 1000 external) one is for power / 
dsl line sync. The other indicates a 10 base T connection.

Suddenly the 10baseT led goes off and of course the internet connection 
can not work. 

Thing I have done

1. replace the router
2. replace the dsl modem
3. replace the patch cable between the two devices

we don't lose sync with the dsl line at any time. The current "fix" is to 
either power down the modem (powering down the router works also but it's 
more of a pain in terms of the lan) or just unplug the patch cable and re 
attach it.

What in the world would case the 10baseT connection between the two 
devices to simply stop ?

Any advise appreciated and I apologize for being off topic, but I need 
some brains on this one folks !

Thank you.
