Regarding Modem And Lan Card.........?

i am using bsnl broadband through a teracom adsl type 2 modem/router provided by bsnl.I have an onboard lan card intel (R)82578dc gigabit network through which i connect to the internet.the problem i am facing for 7-8 months is whenever i switch the modem on,i cannot connect to the internet.after i remove the dsl cable and the dsl light starts blinking,i put the cable in it again and then again i am able to connect to the internet.a bsnl person came to my home and he asked me to change the modem as it was under rent,i changed the modem from bsnl ,got a new one of the same model and brand but the same problem persists.now even that person cant rectify whats the exact problem is.he was guessing probably whether the lan card is defective and many other things but i dont have a seperate lan card to test and this intel (R) 82578dc lan card in in built.i want to know a few things,is this really a lan card problem or any other problem and if it really is a lan card problem,how to test whether the lan card is poroperly working or not.its surely not a modem problem becasue ithey changed me for a brand new one.i am confused,please help me.

    To be honest, why do you turn the modem off? I've had cases where repeated turning on and off of the modem caused it to die. Most modems are low power, so leaving them on is only a few pennys a week.

    Also, when you turn it on, it might take a few minutes to register with your provider. Try leaving it for 5/10/15 minutes to see what happens.

    One last thing to try would be wireless if you have it. Do you get the same symptoms?
