hmmmm - that sounds like the ISP not liking the "switching" of User SIDs (Usernames and Passwords).

1st - it's a shame you're using USB for "networking" -- use CAT5 Ethernet Cable and a NIC (or Onboard)

2nd - USB is notoriously buggy and Hogs the CPU

3rd - There's a Registry tweak you may want to try to "sustain" the connection, while switching users (I'm assuming XP Home with FastUser Switching?? -- this was designed for DUN, but since DSL/ADSL uses PPPoE, a User/Pass is required and likely that RPC / RAS part of the MS TCP/IP stack)

Code:

W i n d o w s   R e g i s t r y   E d i t o r   V e r s i o n   5 . 0 0

[ H K E Y _ L O C A L _ M A C H I N E \ S O F T W A R E \ M i c r o s o f t \ W i n d o w s   N T \ C u r r e n t V e r s i o n \ W i n l o g o n ]
" K e e p R a s C o n n e c t i o n s " = " 1 "
