Ok so when Im downloading music and the such and I leave for a couple of hours it says I do not have an active internet connection. basically it kicks my internet off and I end up having to restart my computer. Has anyone ever experianced this or anyone have any Ideas to fix this?

thx
Jeff

P.S I have cable

 

There could be an option where as if your in active for so long it automatically disconnects you. I'd have a quick look through the prefrences of your internet connection (s) and see if you can find such an option.

 

sometimes your ISP does this so a virus cant activate on you while away... they do this as a precaution... your isp might have set protection and thinks your computer is inactive as it sends a basically a check signal, if it sees you are doing something it leaves you alone, if it sees nothing and then checks back again 5 minutes later, and again sees nothing it might trip a red flag and cut the connection..... the reason they do this is because most viruses dont activate until your computer is so called sleeping....
