Hi,my windows xp sp2 keeps disconnecting from the
internet every 5 minutes.
A message box appears stating that:
"Your session has ended,do you want to reconnect?"
I'm on a dial up connection.
Anyone?
Thanks.

John

try just cleaning out the internet explorer, disable all addons in manage
addons, clean out the downloaded files folder in ie and also the %temp%
folder, see if that makes any difference. if it does, try scanning the system
for spyware and adware or even virus'.

There's a second "idle time to disconnect" area in
Control Panel
