viperharis911, first thing you have to determine is if it's you or them. Some ISP's will disconnect after so long a period, others disconnect after so long a period of inactivity (some of those can be outwitted by a proggie called 'Stay Alive 2000' @ http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Garage/7334/Kpalive.html ) If it's you, take a look at your settings. There's an option to check mail and hang up afterwards. Make sure you don't have that selected. Only other thing I can think of is either watch manually to see what happens or maybe a log. HTH.
