    My computer disconnects from the wireless Internet whenever I'm inactive for like 5 or 10 minutes. How can I fix this?

    Do I have to change some settings in my phone/computer (ping)? How to do that?

    I think it's my servers fault that they disconnect inactive users. I log in 15 times a day because of this.

    I have a Cable modem connected to a router (Linksys WRT54G) I use internet on my Desktop PC using a Wireless Adapter (NETGEAR WG111) I am using Windows Vista.

    I tried few things like

    Contacting the ISP
    changing USB port for adapter
    updating router firmware
    tryin out the connection on a laptop
    Connecting directly using a LAN cord

    Nothing worked..

    Anyone with more solutions ??

    Ok, answering my own question quite late. but i found the answer way back.

    Not much an answer but i used the older firmware of my router. and it worked great.

    your dynamic ip (or something to that effect) is being reset. My connection would disconnect every hour at the same precise time. There are a number of possible fixes, the first would be to contact your isp regarding your ip being reset so frequently. Even if your terminology is less than exact someone of general competence should understand your particular problem and forward advise on how to amend your disconnection issues.
