Check your settings here:
IE/Tools/Internet Options/Connections/Settings/Advanced/
Disconnect when...
When you quit Internet Explorer, you may not be prompted to disconnect even
if the Disconnect when connection may no longer be needed option is enabled.
The following registry value also verifies that the option is enabled: Go to
Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to this key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\RemoteAccess\Profile\"Connection
Name"\EnableExitDisconnect. The value should be 01 00 00 00.
To set Idle TimeOut:
1. The Idle TimeOut option in Dial-Up Networking must be set for the
connection to hang up after being idle. Open the Dial-Up Networking dialog
box, and select User Preferences from the More button.
2. Disable Autodial by location, and set Idle Seconds Before Hanging Up to
the desired amount of time: This value should be greater than 60.
3. Choose Logon Preferences from the More button, and set Idle Seconds
Before Hanging Up to the same value as User Preferences.
4. Open Control Panel/Services and disable the Remote Access Autodial
Manager service.
Another option: Start/Run/Regedit
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters
.. In the right pane, find Autodisconnect and change the time accordingly.
Or...
Start/Run/net config server /autodisconnect:30 (30 being an example).
I know on RR cable there's a button on top-rt of modem
called 'pipe lock' that nothin gets thru.

Any advice given is my attempt to show appreciation for all
the excellent help I've received here but I'm no MVP so it
may only apply NUGS. Personal attacks, nitpicking & criticism
of anything but content will NOT be responded to. Those
posters should spend their time taking the test @ http://www.nimh.nih.gov/publicat/ocdtrt1.htm
Not needed? There is a another setting you should check.
Control panel \ network connections.
Right-click your ISP.
Properties.
Options tab.
You'll see a box for "idle time before hanging up".
What qualifies as "idle time"? Mine is set to 20 minutes but I don't recall
the connection ever being disconnected even though I've left my machine
unattended for longer than that and presumably doing nothing.

Your guess is as good as mine with regard to the definition of "idle
time". I've been active on line using the keyboard but not the mouse,
and had the disconnection warning appear about being idle for 20
minutes..
