I've done this in production enviroment (with linux bridge involved) as well as in test enviroment (just 2 modems and 2 computers). Those SHDSL modems should have equal setup except that one should be a Server and the other a Client. In both those situations rebooting Client doesn't help, but rebooting Server one solves the problem. > I have a feeling you have just about all the evidence you need to go > back to your modem vendor's support and say "Listen up... what you told > me was wrong and here's my proof.". The thing is that we have 2 pairs of modem, one VDSL and one SHDSL. They both have this problem, and my initial post to support was about VDSL modems were they told that problem is in something else. I can't prove that because VDSL modems has broken and are now being repaired. At another post about this problem regarding SHDSL modems they just suggested unofficial firmware, which I'm afraid to update b/c if something wrong I don't have any kind of backup there. Moreover I called local service, they say any service will lead to transportation to capital city and will take 1-3 months :/ This is what is being happened with VDSL.
