assume you are talking about dial up internet?
see your isp for ppp script debugging information? capture conversation into log for examination? just talking thru my hat, never got internet working with linux but watched it being done...contact your isp, see if they have script you can copy?

I've had the same problem with SuSE Linux and with MS W2K, both running on the same machine. I believe that the problem is with the modems on each end of the line interacting. I would sometimes have to dial my ISP up to five times before the connection would complete.

I worked around the problem by setting the dial up application to redial automatically.

I finally fixed the problem yesterday by getting cable modem service through a different ISP.
