Question

Answer 1

The internet connection doesn't go away when you turn off the computer, but you have nothing to use it with when the computer is off.

Answer 2

Your modem is probably connecting using PPPoE (PPP Over Ethernet). You have to use protocol PPPoA (PPP Over ATM). You will change that through inside your modem's configuration. If you can not do that, call your ISP's helpdesk to help you and ask about the protocol, which may have to be not automatic by your ISP and needs to be changed.

Answer 3

The cable modem should have a power button, that if you press it, turns the modem into standby mode.  If the Internet stops working, unplug the modem and router and let it stay off for 20 minutes.  Restart the computer using a button, and turn everything back on.  Vote mine as best answer.
