Not using internet (e-mail or internet explorer). Connection is lost. How can I fix it?

[George Kooper]

If I am not using internet (e-mail or internet explorer) frequently,
connection is lost. What is wrong?

I have to reboot computer to get it back. Why?

Hi George,

It's possible that your network connection is set to disconnect after a
certain amount of time idle. To change this, open Network Connections in
Control Panel. Right-click the connection that you use to connect to the
Internet, and then click Properties. On the Options tab, change the time in
the "Idle time before disconnecting" box and click OK.
