I can't read email in OE or browse the net with Internet Explorer or Firefox if I've let my computer be idle for an hour or so. I must reboot in order to connect to the internet. I don't have any issues with losing my connection while browsing online. I don't remember where to look to check my settings. I recall setting it up early on so that my DSL connection is always connected but not sure why I am having problems staying connected now. This problem began happening after I got a bit 'cleaning happy' using Crap Cleaner.
