More info?)
I already had that unchecked.
Also I thought that the firmware on the router was going to help but after 8
hrs. it disconnected again. At least now it takes longer.
Event Viewer shows this error:
Event Type: Information
Event Source: RemoteAccess
Event Category: None
Event ID: 20159
Date: 10/19/2004
Time: 11:00:49 PM
User: N/A
Computer: XP3200
Description:
The connection to The Internet (2) made by user User Name using device
IRDA12-1 was disconnected.
For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp
And going to that links shows:
Explanation
A Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) connection was disconnected. Possible causes
include normal user-initiated disconnection or a hardware error.
User Action
Check the PPP and Rasman logs for any related events. If no related events
are found, then this was probably a user-initiated disconnection and no user
action is required.
