Windows XP -
I recently converted from DSL to Cable.
No router
Since conversion I am dropping my internet connection if there is no 'traffic' for about 15 min.
I have to re-boot to re-establish the connection.
Optonline said it was my Firewall -
I disabled McAfee firewall and enabled Windows Firewall - having the same problem.
