Hey, My isp bein a goof...they keep kickin me offline when inactive for more than 5 min or somthin (DSL). So I want to create a web page on my server here that will auto go to other sites while I'm at work to keep my web services running.

Do you know the proper way to tell a second window in a frameset to redirect to a new web site until so much time passes and then redirect to another site, and continue?

Thanks in advance!

a) I've never heard of a DSL provider knocking someone off for inactivity. Its *supposed* to be an "always on" connection. If your ISP has admitted to performing this stunt you can always try a different provider (I used Mindspring before I moved and didn't have too many problems). Search around on b) Instead of some sort of asp script why don't you try a keep-alive program (usually used for dial-up connections). You can find them at c) If you reeeeaaallyy want to go with the route you mentioned above please reply back and I'm sure we can point you in the right direction.

I know what a DSL connection is and is supposed to be...but thank you. :)

The thing of it is, is that I host my web sites on that computer, which it doesn't directly go against their TOS, however does sorta. So now, after more than a year, I'm sure (especially with the way people are here), or at least wouldn't put it past them, to come up with somthing like that. But no configurations have changed on my computer, except now it's been getting disconnected everyday when I go to sleep or to work...basically, when there's no activity for 'some' ammount of time.

I did figure out a way to do it integrating asp variables and using the client side meta refresh tag....it works now and scans through about 9 or 10 sites, holding on each site for different ammounts of time. Hope this will work...think it will. But thank you for your time and thoughts!
