Question:

How do I disable the Automatic Disconnect feature in Windows 9x?

Response:

1. Go to the Start menu, choose Settings, and click on the Control Panel.

2. Find the Icon labeled Internet Options and open this. Click on the Connections Tab at the top.

3. There should be a white window labeled Dial-up settings. Find your connection, click on it, and click the Settings button. On the new window that appears, find the Advanced button near the bottom right hand side and click on it.

4. There will be two check boxes labeled:

- Disconnect if idle for ____ minutes
and
- Disconnect when connection may no longer be needed

5. Uncheck both of these boxes, and then click OK on each window until you are back at the control panel. Close the control panel and you should no longer be disconnected automatically by Windows.
