Can MS make a program to have a "connect" icon on your desktop?

Router is up to date and I am using dsl PPPoE. People
have the problem of not being able to connect to
websites, until they log in and go into The base station
management tool and click "connect" or unplug and restart
the router. This has to be done 5 or 6 times a day.
There is a bug with the router with all connections, both
wired and wireless.

If there was a simple icon on your computer desktop to
simply "connect" at least I would be able to live with
it.

(Strange thing about it is some programs such as Emule
still work - uploading and sometimes downloading files
while internet explore cannot connect. Connection is
lost even when emule is not running incase sombody
suggests it to be the culprit.)

If you sign in to the router and check the basestation log I bet you
will see as one of the last entries receive PADT. If this is the case
then you will need to set a maximum idle time in the WAN section of your
router & enable the auto reconnect feature.
