Network connection - failure to reuse after disconnection

My notebook is configured to use a number of network connections, I turn
these on and off depending on where I am and how I wish to connect. The
specific problem concerns a CDMA modem card used for wireless broadband. I
have this set to redial on disconnection, which it does. The problem is that
a ruined network connection (in this case a PPP) is left and a new one is
created. Because the ruined connection (no IP address etc) is the first in
the queue nothing comunicates until a reboot cleans things up.

ipconfig release and renew doesn't clear up the mess (it will not recognise
that the ruin is a connection).

Am right up to date on updates.
 
The problem seems to have been due to the Zone Alarm fire wall. Have switched
to the Microsoft firewall and the problem has gone. Pity really, I quite
liked Zone Alarm.
