I just recently installed DSL with a Linksys router. Everything has been working well but when the computer stands idle for about two hours, I must reboot to reestablish my internet connection.

Hi,
Start/run "cmd"
Run "ipconfig /renew"
See if that helps.

There should be an option in your router to keep the DSL connection alive.
I currently use cable so this option doesn't show, but when PPoE is selected
(for DSL) then the option "Auto Reconnect" is displayed.

That won't help. Running that at the computer will only *try* to renew the
license assigned by the router's DHCP server (of course, you must first have
executed "ipconfig /release *" so you have no DHCP-assigned IP addresses so
you can get new ones). If you need to run the equivalent of "ipconfig
/release *" and "ipconfig /renew", you'll have to do that from the router
(note the OP said they are using a router) which should have options called
something like "DHCP Release" and "DHCP Renew". But then if the connect has
been dropped you, well, aren't connected and have to instantiate a new
session.
See my other reply on how you configure an option in the router to prevent
your current session from getting dropped. Actually, since it is a
reconnect function, I suspect you still lose your session which then
instantiates a new session. Your IP lease from your ISP's DHCP server is
still probably good (i.e., hasn't expired yet), your router should renogiate
for a new one but if it fails and instead gets the fall-back IP address
assigned by the DHCP server in the DSL modem then you'll have to use the
above mentioned DHCP release/renew functions in the router.
