After a short time of non-use most programs can no longer
access the internet (MSN and Outlook cannot connect for
example, while IE6 always works fine. Once I restart the
computer there isn't a problem until the computer sits
idle for awhile. I've already turned off the power saving
features related to my network components. Is this an XP
issue?
 
Is this a dial-up connection? Please, provide more
information. Also, most programs have their own seperate
settings regarding their use of the internet, because of
this, it is not necessarily your OS that is causing the
issue.
 
I have same problem with a cable modem running IE and
OUTLOOK under XP PRO through a MacAfee Firewall. After a
while the connection is dropped. This has just started in
the past two days since I downloaded and installed SP 2.
