I didn't see the original message. Look in control panel \ network
connections. Right-click your ISP name, properties, options.
There's a box regarding idle time before disconnection.
I'd changed the IE setting to 15 minutes, and the Network box still
indicated the default of 20 minutes, so it seems to operate
separately.
