I too faced this problem a few days back. I observed it happens when there was no data transfer between your machine and the internet for a few minutes. Most likely, the router at BSNL that connects to the client is responsible for this! I do not know the technicalities though! As for the motives, I would'nt be surprised if even BSNL does not know :-) regds, mano regds, mano _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
