Gary, I'm at an airport getting ready to board a plane. Won't be able to check my setup for a week till I get back. I'm using a DSL connection. I have not upgraded the software with the router. When I looked at the router configuration from the http site, the last two lines referred to "keep alive". Also, I do have PPPOe checked as instructed by my ISP, Verizon Tony.

I experience unwanted and annoying Telnet timeouts, so I have observed this thread with keen interest. I use the most basic settings and am using an older firmware version--1.34. A year or so ago, I upgraded for no particular reason, and triggered serious problems that were only resolved by going back to 1.34, which was not at all trivial to do. As pointed out, LinkSys tech support was pretty marginal. Having been so burned, I have made no changes since, following the hoary principle of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." I find "connect on demand" associated with PPPoE, which is currently disabled. The HELP file says "You have to check with your ISP to make sure whether the PPPoE should be enabled or not." Apparently, I do not need it for basic functionality with this ISP. I cannot find "keep alive" anywhere on this version. What is its use context? What F/W version are you using? Is yours a cable or DSL connection?
