sort dialup networking

Lona:
my isp connection keeps cutting off. I don't think it is the isp at fault as nobody else seems to be suffering. Is there anything I should be checking? I recently downloaded explorer6. I have tried everything I can think of as to what could be causing the problem.
I uninstalled msn messenger as it was the worst offender and I constantly got cut off when using it but the problem still exists.

Clive:
Click on Tools at the top of your screen

Internet options

Connections

Settings

Advanced

Does the box say "stay connected for 20 mins"?

Simon:
Oh noooo!!  I've been trying to sort out a similar problem on a friends PC for ages now.

First, have you checked that Outlook Express is not set to disconnect after sending / receiving?  It's set by default to do so, so you have to turn it off (in OE) in Tools > Options > Connections.

Next go to IE Tools > Internet Options > Connections > Settings > Advanced, and make sure nothing is set to Auto Disconnect.

Try those first, Lona, and come back to us if it doesn't help, then we'll have a look at your Modem Speed and Port Settings.  If you know how to change these, set them both to 115200.  That might help.  :)

Clive:
We were working on Lona's problem simulataneously Simon.  ;D
I had that Outook Express problem on my 1900XP and it drove my wife crazy until SHE sorted it out.  ;D Don't you just hate clever women?  ;D  Oh oh!  She's looking over my shoulder!   ;D  ;D  ;D

Simon:
Well, great minds think alike, Clive!!

Now, butt out, so I can raise my posting total!!   ;) ;D ;D
