It seems that if my router is running without problems already (after
having started the computer with windows :( ), exim connects fine
through the router (not immediate connection) as well. The problem
really seems to be that after a cold start (both modem and router are
switched on and the computer is booting), the router does not find the
connection itself. It needs something from windows to start it. If
that is true it is bad...
I cannot understand why you think that you need Windows. Are the modem
and router separate boxes, or software running on a Windows machine? My
ADSL modem/router is a single box (PHILIPS SNA 6500) as was my previous
D-Link box. Both take about a minute to boot and connect to DSL, but I
normally leave them permanently running. And I don't have Windows. The
boxes must have their own internal software and be independent of any
external operating system.

Well, this is what I do. I shutdown from within KDE (since 2.6 even
the computer turns itself off) and then I switch of the main socket on
the wall.
Oh, well - thats OK. You are shutting down the system and _then_
disconnecting from the mains.
Take George's advice to reconfigure Exim4 to use minimal DNS and see
what happens.
