Im totally new to XP, so IM not sure if this is a defult thinng, or even my ISP.
What my problem is, when leaving my internet on all night to download stuff, but when I wake up, the internet is not online, like it used to be fine with 98.
I have call waiting, but that isnt a problem, because call waiting is disabled when a internet connection is established. I dont have a dissconnection problem when I am active, just when I am idle from any activity other than downloading. Is there a defult setting that dissconnects dial up connection when idle for so long? If so, how can I increase it?
It could be your ISP.
Also, how are your power settings set up? Many times if you have your comp set to go to Sleep mode or even a screen saver after an amount of time, that will knock you offline.
There might be a “keep connection alive” setting in your Connection Settings, but I’m not sure.
If you have window XP you may have “Sleep mode” on and that culd be your problem…casue when its starts up it kicks you offline
Some Isp’s Shutdown your connection after a long while of no activity on your computer. But if you didnt change ISP’s then that couldnt be the problem.
It was in hybernate mode. Its turned off now, and all is fine. I wounder why my ISP had a problem with telling me that. Thanks.

Thanks.Your ISP has no knowledge of your local computer build, it is your responsibility to know how to set up a computer not your ISP’s, they simply provide a connection and obviously the connection provided was faultless. Why bitch about them?
The fault was yours.
