I am using a shared dial-up account attached to my NT Server to allow several users to check email and retrieve files from the internet. Everything works except that the Internet disconnects after a few minutes. When you request something from the Internet you then have to wait for it dial back up and reconnect. I have found several activity timers and have set them to 30 minutes but I must be missing one somewhere. Any suggestions where I might check.

What timers have you found and set? That will tell me what you missed 
I'd hate to guess all day long Give me that information and I'll see what I can do.
Good Luck,

I have set the time-out to long lengths at the Connection tab of the Modem Properties under Contol Panel, and Under the Exchange Administation icon, the Internet Mail Service Time out. I am much more familier with Netware, but have set this same feature up on three W2K servers and didn't have this problem so I am probably overlooking somthing very simple.
Thanks in Advance for any help.
