Running Vista / windows mail and using NNTP to the MS Public and Private
Newsgroups.
Constantly getting TCP/IP connection dropping / timeouts while reading /
responding ... most annoying.
Anyone know of a way to stop that ?
 
Hi Shawn.

Just a note to let you know that the setting Doesn't "stick"
needs to be run on each boot up ( not sure about individual log-ins )

It might be a security program blocking the Registry change it needs to
make. A few, but not all, of the programs now doing this are:
Ad-aware's Ad-Watch
IBM Access Connections
McAfee VirusScan and/or Antispyware
Norton AV
Spyware Blaster
Spybot> Tools> IE Tweaks
Spybot- Teatimer
Spysweeper
Spyware Doctor
Windows Defender
Zone Alarm (free) 6.5 Reported to be fixed in later versions.

In the case of Zone Alarm 6.5 or Norton 2007 it actually has to be
uninstalled. Make sure the Windows Firewall is turned on until you
reinstall Zone Alarm.

Boot into Safe Mode with Networking and try the change.
