LCP (
Link Control Protocol) is part of the PPP session between you and your ISP.
AIUI its what identifies you and authorises you on to the ISP network... It doesnt have anything to do with physical line conditions.
LCP session problems could occur for example:-
1. ~ if you was with an ISP that did idle timeouts,
2. ~ if you was with an ISP that did session limits
3. ~ if for some reason your login was no longer valid,
4. ~ if there was a problem with the ISP radius
5. ~ if the ISP drops your connection.
6. ~ if theres a problem on the BTw centrals
7. ~ if theres too many session limits on the centrals and BTw are 'policing' them
8. ~ possible problem with the BTw RADIUS in that it cant ident you.
* 1&2 dont apply to Zen,
* its not 3 or you wouldnt be able to re-authorise,
* 4 is unlikely or youd have problems connecting again and lots of Zen customers wouldnt be able to connect.
* 7 highly unlikely and youd have problems reconnecting.. plus you'd also see your router reporting several attempts to establish a connection.
That leaves 5 or 6
>> It seems to take a few minutes after all the router lights are green before you can actually connect to the web ?
Shouldn't take too long only about a minute at the most- you'll have to be reauthorised on to the Zen part of the network.
Your router should keep trying every few minutes until it does get auth.... if it gets a failed attempt your router should either log it as failed and/or show each re-attempt.
From your router logs

>> Fri, 2009-08-07 18:22:03 - CHAP authentication success
The time looks slightly slow but still ok.. theres no failed attempts.
hmmm just thought.- as I typed slightly slow... would need to see more normal zen auth to be sure - but could be round-robin trying a few centrals before it does connect. If it is.. then this points to possible unbalanced centrals.
