Hi,

Here is an update to my problem.

I use The Shield Professional 2005 from PCSecurityShield which has a virus
checker and a firewall (shield). Even though I disabled the firewall, I
still was having the problem.

I removed the shield from the start-up programs and added Zone Alarm as my
firewall. I have not had any problems since. I don't know what the shield
does (I did add the IP address of the DSN & DCPH in the shield, but it did
not help), but I seem to be the one causes the problem.

Hi,

Here is my network:
- BEFW11S4(v1.45.3) connected to DSL via a PPPoE connect, max idle time
is 40m.
- notebook XP via a wireless connection - WPC11.
- Dell desktop win98 via a cable connection - Linksys LNE100TX(V5).

My problem:
- Wireless Notebook PC stays connected to the internet all of the time.
- Wired Desktop PC internet connection seems to timeout after 5 minutes.
- On the desktop PC, I have disabled virus, firewall, and pcdoctor
software and rebooted, but still have the timeout problem.
- I have used both IE5 and Mozilla, and have the same timeout problem.

- When I have the timeout problem, I still can access my email from my
ISP and also send email.

How can I determine what my problem is?

Thanks,

Fred

do you have "keep alive" or "connect on demand" settings on your router ?
(try the 'keep alive')
