If my computer is idle for about two hours I lose my Internet connection and have to restart the computer and all is fine and stays that way as long as it's not idle too long.

using XP Home and cable broadband so there should be constant access...

Any ideas?

FAOL is my home page and I check it frequently but not always before the two hours is up so it's a pain to restart....see how my question is related to fishing and especially FAOL.[G]
