Open Network Connections, right click on your Internet connection and choose
Properties. From the Options tab, change Idle Time Before Hanging Up.

Thanks to you both but I was hoping that Auto Disconnect existed it was
better than having the connection live for a number of inactive minutes 98

If you mean the even stupider one.

In IE, Tools - Internet Options - Connection - <choose one> - Settings - =
Advanced - Disconnect When Connection May No Longer be Needed.

You must have a lot of cash to waste.

All phone calls cost money in Australia - no such thing as a free local =
call. So connection fees are substantial,=20

On the upside I can call in very large areas for 15c flat including all =
ISPs and we tend to a 5 hour kick off on internet accounts. So it makes =
sense to stay connected for the full 5 hours.

I also won't troubleshoot anything that requires a reboot as it cost me =
15c per reboot. And I won't pay that to solve someone else's problems.

I also won't download updates. As excess bandwidth is charged at 20c per =
MByte (probably per MiByte). I want a thing from MS web site (about =
400Mb) but the excess charges would be $80.00 or I'd have to not answer =
questions for a month.
