OK Les , so are you now using XP or Vista?
By the way its Mozilla Firefox for future comments. Are you USA or UK based. In the UK dial-up runs at 46kbps while the high speed DSL runs at 100mbps or more. I think you need to change provider or complain about the speed. It seems from what you say that your connection shuts down if not used for a few moments. This is most likely to be the way your connection was set up. Do not shut your virus protection off while on line or things could get a whole lot worse. Your Firewall is the Windows one so I need to know what version Windows you use to advise further.
