Unplugin network cable

[G.f]

Hello,

If I unplug the network cable, Windows closes *all* active sockets after 6
secondes (precisely). I want Windows to not close the sockets! This will be
usefull for my Wifi card, as well as my modem disconnections.

Thanks.

too bad. if the network is gone, the sockets will close. you may be able
to change the timeout with a registry hack. but even if you keep them open
there is no gaurantee that the other end will still be there, that the
network won't have changed going from one hot spot to another, or even that
you will get the same ip address on a dialup connection.

Thank you for your answer.

Yes I want to change this timeout with a registry hack. But I can't find it
anywhere. Do you have it?

I know about the technical problems, but I consider the other end is still
here waiting for my packets, and the modem will get the same IP. It's the
case 98% of the times I get disconnected.

Thanks.

check on google, there are several sites that list and explain the registry
settings. there is also a tool out there that gives a nice interface to
optimize tcp/ip settings.
