Internet swtches off

[PVR]

I use WinXP in a 2.4 GHz PIV with a cable modem. If I leave the PC switched
on for some time I loose my internet connection. In order to re-connect I
must reboot the PC.

Is it possible this behavior can be corrected?

Peter.

Generally, an ISP will disconnect a user if there is no activity on the line
for a period of time. Try checking for mail every X minutes to see if that
will keep you connected.

Many thanks. After posting I was working with Zone Alarm. I discovered a
setting in there which could be adjusted. I still have my router so I should
be OK (g).
