Your connection software may be configured to time out after a certain amount of inactivity...this is to save you money on connect charges. If what yo do when you first log on is read your mail...or especially online forums like YT you are probably inactive...at least as far as the computer is concerned...and it times out and hangs up onyou. Prolly after an hour or so you have finished reading all of your online forums and are starting to do things like reply and surf which the software sees as "real" activity and it leaves you alone. There is prolly a setup menu where you can adjust the time till time-out or perhaps select a warning box to ask you if you are really inactive, instead of the damn thing just assuming you are :-) Good Luck Kim
