When I am connected to the net via cable and I do not use the connect for
five minutes I loose connect.
A window pops up and I click on reconnect and I am back on. Is there a
setting to fix this or am I
going to have to live with it. BTW I use Comcast.

More info to start:

Config ? Simple line drawing of your setup.

Type of cable modem ?

Do you have a router in between ? Type ?

OS ?

Motorola sb4200
d-link wireless router di 524 using wep and shared auth/
xp pro and vista and it does it with vista also.
vista is installed on a separate drive. I use a drive caddy
and change out the drives.
the funny thing is if I keep working the connection stays up. so I figure it
is in the router setup
somewhere but I can't find it.

The only thing that comes to mind would be power management turning the device
off due to non-use. Check here:

        (XP Pro) CtrlPanel->NetworkConnections->(network that is connected)->
         Properties->General->Configure->PowerManagement

and see if it's enabled and try disabling it.

If you have a firewall running, you could try bypassing the router for
a test to see if it makes a difference (I doubt it will, but it would
rule it in or out).

thanks I will give it a try but I think the problem is in the router. Since
it does it with both wireless and hard connect.
Maybe a new router will fix the problem.
