? ? are because i use win 2k pro only. i have win xp but uninstalled it 'cause i did not like how unstable it was. win 2k pro is the best "for me", i was not too sure if the settings were the same. i'm willing to bet they are very close though to where you would not have a problem with what i gave you.

Sometimes ISPs will automatically disconect you if there is no data being sent. The best you could do is check the box (whereever it is) auto redial if line is dropped.
Maybe call your ISP, see what they say about it.
