Sounds like an ISP problem to me, but could also be a broken router. 
Are you sure all PPPoE fields are correct in the router (service name 
and the like)? Tried a different router for a day or so?

have you updated to the latest firmware? The consumer routers are 
strange and buggy beasts, with all sorts of weird and stupid 
behaviour. I have had problems with the 624 before.

On the other hand, sometimes it helps to /downgrade/ to a previous 
firmware... I found a german forum once dedicated to sharing and 
discussing D-Link router firmware versions :-P

I have given up on these units and will only buy slightly more 
expensive routers from now on (I like the Netgear Prosafe series for 
cost/capability).
