I have ICS on my XP box and when another computer want to get on the
internet, my XP computer will automatically dial and connect. How do I make
it disconnect after a certain amount of inactivity or when the user is done?

Thanks

Set an idle time out on the dial up connection (properties, options).
However be warned that if some idiot/virus is scanning your ports the
line may never drop, since it will appear to be 'busy'. This can get
expensive.
