Dial Up Auto Disconnect

Guest

I am running XP Home,SP2 and am forced to use dial up internet service.
Eventho I have my idle time set at 8 hours (options>settings>idle time before
disconnect),windows still threatens to disconnect after about 20 minutes,then
I have to click "stay connected". Why does it think its idle when
downloading?Any suggestions how to change my settings so windows won't
disconnect (when it thinks its idle) for more than 20 minutes?
Thanx

Well,after playing around, I answered my own question!:)
FYI it goes like this...tools>internet options>connections>settings>click
the advanced box in dial up settings(under properties) and remove the check
from"disconnect if idle for (however many) minutes" box. Click okay.
Certainly wasen't rocket sience! Don't know how I missed it before!
Cheers!
