I have 2 win98 se computers, one with a 56k modem and connection sharing enabled.
When a connection is made from the host comupter, it disconnects when the alloted idle time is reached. This is correct and the way in which I need it to work.
The problem occurs when I make the connection from the client computer. The connection is established through the host and everything is ok at this point. However, If I leave the connection idle by closing IE on the client, the host does not prompt to disconnect when the alloted idle time is reached. This is obviously a problem as the internet connection remains active.
I need the connection to terminate when the specified idle time is reached, regardless of which computer initiates it.
On the host computer in IE/Tools/InternetOptions/Connections/Settings/Advanced, idle time is set to the required period. I have ticked and unticked diconnect when no longer needed, which does not resolve the problem.
There is no such option on the client as there is no modem installed.
I would be grateful for any suggestions.
