Win. me Internet shutdown
Why does my internet connection shut down after about 20 minutes of
inactivity, all the time ? I have windows ME. |
If you are connecting to the internet using a modem check that you don't
have it set to disconnect after a period of inactivity. To check thus: Start | Settings | Dial Up Networking. Highlight the "connectoid" that you use to connect to your ISP, right click and select Properties. Open the Dialing tab and you should find towards the bottom a check box labelled "Enable idle disconnect" together with other boxes allowing you to set the idle time after which the system will disconnect, the amount of bandwidth used below which the connection can be considered to be idle and also whether a warning message is displayed before disconnection. Alter these to suit your requirements, Regards, -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP [2001-2005] tmac wrote: Why does my internet connection shut down after about 20 minutes of inactivity, all the time ?

.....exactly the same! Go to the Network and Sharing Center Click on Manage Network Connections go to the connectoid r-click and select Properties in Options, check that "Idle time before hanging up" is set to 'never' OK out ALSO - check that WinMail is not set to disconnect after fetching email..... ToolsOptionsConnection UNcheck "Hang up after sending and receiving" OK out Noel, .... and Microsoft think that killing a NG on their server will make it go away?
