Internet timeout under XP Prof?

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

Running XP Pro. It seems that if I do not access the
internet for
"awhile" (15 min.?) there's a timeout and I have to
reboot in order to
get my net access again. As long as I'm using the net, i
don't seem
to have a problem.

I'm running a dual bit config, Win2000, and using a
LinkSys HPRO200
router. I do not get that behavior when running 2000,
only when
running XP. So I don't think it's the router, and
besides the timeout
feature there is disabled (i.e. set to zero).

I tried a System Repair as well as a Restore to a point
before when I
thought this was happening. Same effect, i.e. still
times out.

Any ideas?

TIA
.

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
