Internet connections

[seve]

Hi,
When I'm logged onto the internet and the mouse/keyboard is not used for about 30 secs the computer prompts to disconnect. Is there any way I can stop this and stay connected all the time.

ISP is Tiscali with 150 kbps Broardband

Cheers

As you're using DSL which a digital dial-up connection... try these;

This will disable the the dialup autodisconnect.

• 
  XP--
  • Start, Control Panel, Network Connections
    Right Click on your Tiscali connection and select Properties, select the Options tab.
    
  • Make sure "Idle time before hangin up" is set to Never
  
  
• ME--
  • Start, Dial-Up Networking then click on your Tiscali Connection.
    
  • In the box that appears, Click Properties
    
  • In the Properties windows, select Dialing
    
  • Then disable or untick Enable Idle Disconnect
  
  

Or if that doesn't work.. try this on either PC

• Click on Start
  
• Then Run
  
• Type Regedit and press Enter
  
• In regedit browse to...
  HKEY_CURRENT_USER
  Software
  Microsoft
  Windows
  CurrentVersion
  Internet Settings
  
• Look for "EnableAutodial" and "EnableAutodisconnect" and set Autodisconnect to 01 00 00 00
  
  Use Edit > New > Binary Value in regedit to create these if necessary.

Phew!

Good Luck
