Similar issues here. IIRC, I got disconnected at about 5 am. I was busy but noticed it reconnected at about 6 am but no DNS assigned. I was using IP Cop with PPtP connected to my M1122 which was in PPPoA relay mode. I disconnected and reconnected but it didn't help. It also disconnected and reconnected within a few minutes by itself once or twice at some stage. So I restarted IP Cop but this didn't help either. So I reset my M1122 and it restarted along with my last saved config which was in normal NAT mode with the modem establishing the PPPoA completely. I didn't check completely since I had to rush out to catch (this was about 7 am) the bus (which I ended up missing) but I think no DNS had been assigned, at least I couldn't seem to do DNS lookups on a local computer...
