That's not at all clear what's going wrong or what you are doing or make it work again. But I will assume you are using wireless. You may find that wicd is a better wireless manager that the default one.

It's what I use and I'm very happy with it.

is the modem set to always on? or do you need to provide it with a user name and password to get in?

If you need to enter in a username and password, I understand that Ubuntu is not fully up to date with the ability to extablish such connections, as you can do in windows.

I suggest you log into the modem, and set it to always on. that way, all ubuntu needs to do is simply test and send a request to modem.

It will also be easier on ubuntu to detect rather or not connection has been lost. Line problems however can cause problems, on my mac for instance, if I loose connection, it will not allways get back on, I sometimes have to force to computer to connect again.
