1. Do you use a dialler to connect ? If so, restarting computer will work. Actually you can simply disconnect and connect the dialler.

2. If you can connect to internet by simply switching On your modem, you need to restart your modem.

The whole point is, your connection should be restarted which cannot be achieved in method 2 without modem restart.

dial-up mode means bridge mode right????

yes. for broadband that is correct.

Yes. Which one do you use ?

well i use switching on and off (PPoe).ok now how do i enable dial-up mode in router settings!!!!and dial-up can be shared in lan???i mean dialing -up directly from the shared computer???if using dial-up is it ok if i switch on the modem and keep till 2.00 without connectiing.will bsnl then calculate the usage????

if you are using multiple PC on LAN then you have to stay with PPPoE. With single system you can have bridge option. In bridge option, even if the modem is on, BSNL would not record usage till connection is established.

You can use Imran's Broadband Helper utility to automatically reboot the modem. All you need is to install it on your computer.
