I have just reinstalled XP & am downloading the crital updates from
Microsoft. Why do I suddenly get a messages from my ISP that unless I click
withing 30 seconds I will be disconnected. I have what is considered to be
about the best ISP & have only been downloading for about 30 minutes? Why
would I get this message? Could it be that the connection to Outlook
Express has been idle?

Thanks in advance
 
In IE, Tools>Internet Options>Connections.
Highlight the connection and click Settings.
In Dial-up Settings click Advanced and uncheck the box next to
"Disconnect when Connection may no longer be needed".

Hope this helps.

Click to expand...

Also check in control panel, network connections. Right-click your ISP
name, properties, options. Clear the box (or change the time)
indicated for hanging up if idle. Apply and okay your way out.
