Hi I have a small but annoying problem regarding an Intel NIC and a Belkin Router. I am connected to the internet using BT Broadband through ethernet cables to both a PC and Laptop. My internet connection is fine, but if it is left idle for about 15+ mins I lose my connection and have to go through the router software to connect. The power management is disabled and i have also set my NIC not to disconnect. I use Napster for my music and that seems to keep connection active. Is there some other program to keep connection active? Any help to try will be grateful. Gadget
