DSL Timeout?

Recently my Verizon DSL connection has time-out problem. If I did not use the Internet for a while (probably 20 minutes) and then tried to connect, I always got the error page showing no Internet connetion. After several tries I would get connected without any problem. I use Mcafee 2006 which includes a software firewall. I am not sure whether it causes the problem.

Currently I worked around this Time-out problem by creating a web page residing at the local IIS. That page connects to Internet every 30 seconds. But if I forget to leave that page open, I still get the Time-out problem.

Could anyone help me with this?

Thanks in advance.
