I ma Sharing a Internet Connection through my computer to 2 other computer on my LAN through a hub. All computers on the LAN have XP. If I leave my host computer on for a hour or longer my computer seems to have timed out the connection. I cant acces the net from my host computer and can not acces other workgroup computers on the LAN from the computer. The other computers on the network are still able to access each other but cant get on the internet or access the host computer. I have turned off autodisconnect on my host computer and it still times out. What possibly could fix this problem? When I restart the host computer everything goes back to normal.

There are tons of freeware utilities to "fool" your ISP into thinking the connection is always active.
