2, when online every 20 mins or so it clicks of line for no reason and i have to click back onto reconnect ,,enter bloody password AGAIN then it connects ,,then 20 mins later same again anyone help PLEASE
Paul

 

sounds lieka virus mate

 

ps,,I no nothing about computers ,,so keep it simple ,,lol,, like me

 

in your network connections, do right click, properties and see if youve got "client for microsoft networks" on the connection. without it, it won't save your password

as for the disconnecting... i dunno sorry, could be WAY too many things

 

HOW DO I GET RID OF A VIRUS,,?????

How do i get into network connectios ???

Told you i was stupid

 

Paul take no notice of Jim as i have the same problem as you and i have 'client for microsoft networks' on my connection! Maybe it didn't install properly when you 1st put the software in for the net?

 

its weird that its always around 20 mins when it dissconects, maybe ring your net provider up and tell them your connection ramdomly hangs and see if they can sort u out?

 

Cheers Spadge and imaloverofcars ,,ps ima ,,get a shorter name

 

Im fighting real hard to stop myself taking the piss Paul.

 

Dont fight it Niel ,,,, I can always fight back Lets get ready to rumble ,,,lol,,,,

 

What o/s do you have and are you on dial up or broadband?
I think somewhere there is an option to disconnect after so many minutes of innactivity.

 

Yep there is, just found it

Right click your internet explorer icon for properties , then click on connections, click on set up for the dial ups and then click on advanced. You should see a disconnect if idle box and as default it's set at 20mins

 

there is

but if its constantly being used, this wouldnt be used anyway

PCs - who'd have one

maybe we should all install linux

 

Fast guy ,,Dial up ( fooking crap ) whats o/s ??
as stu says tho ,,they disconnect if not used ,,Im always on the bloody thing ,,lol,,

ps,,Fast guy ,,do i know you ??as your from n,yorks

 

Operating system paul, IE windows 95 98 xp etc it helps when trying
to solve problems knowing what OS you are using.

Not that I know of. (Unless you've been harrassed by a black gtir )

 

Paul (fat cuuunt) .....if you're using Windows 98...I seem to remember this being a bug - shame you werent closer otherwise I'd of popped over & sorted it for you - or if I'd of had a cossie I'm sure I could have been persuaded to do swapsies!!! LMAO!!

I'll try and dig out the fix....but you'd prob make it worse trying to fix it!!!

 

Here's some more stuff to look at while you're waiting for the fix
