Must reboot to use the internet

What version of ubuntu do you have?

Is this "high speed" "always on" internet? Or something that has to connect each time, like "dial Up" internet?

Also, by "plug in the modem" you mean you plug the network cable into your machine?

Sorry to ask so many questions. I just want to get a better understanding of your situation. I know how frustrating this can be.

 Sorry I was so imprecise.? I have the always on internet.? Yes plugging into the? modem refers to a network cable.
