Default Win. me Internet shutdown
I have the same issue only I am using Vista. What's the process for 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,
