| 271824 | 2004-09-13 03:39:00 | Hi guys - have just reformatted and installed XP Pro - when I connect to the internet using IE it keeps coming up the the connection to Paradise is idle and will be disconnected in 59 seconds - this is while IE is downloading mail etc - if you leave the message it disconnects. Had a quick look this morning but cant see anywhere to turn this off - have changed the "Disconnect if idle" time to an hour but it still does it. One other thing as well - the connection window shows my password as a row of about 13 dots - and when I change it in properties it won't save the changes - any idea why XP does this? |
