The first thing to look into is WHY are you now getting booted when idle. Is it a change at the ISP, or is the new D-Link device causing a problem. 2nd: If using OS X, check out the CRON utility (its a command line thing). Just setup a repeating CRON job to ping some server every few minutes. That will cause you to have regular activity and will basically do what you are looking for. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
