Internet timeout under XP Prof?

[Venky]

Hi,

This kind of problem may occur if the "disconnect if idle
for" option is deselected. To deselect the "disconnect if
idle for" option, perform these steps:

1. Open the Internet Explorer window.
2. Click Tools and select Internet Options.
3. Select the Connection Tab.
4. Select the default Dial-Up Connection.
5. Click the Settings button.
6. Click the Advanced button.
7. Deselect the "disconnect if idle for " checkbox.

NOTE: If this "disconnect if idle for" checkbox is
deselected, you have to disconnect from the Internet
manually by clicking the Disconnect button in the
Connected To window.

Also, perform these steps:

Click Start, choose Run, type following and click OK.

net config server /autodisconnect:-1

Thanks, except that this is a cable connection. There is no
"disconnect if idle" selection.

Does the: net config server /autodisconnect:1

still apply?

Thx
