Mark, I will take a crack at this: 1) On the permissions, are you logged on as an Administrator? I ?believe? this will dictate whether or not the permissions tab displays? 2) I believe the idle disconnect warning your seeing is coming from NT, and assuming you have a dial-up account to your ISP you should check your "Intenet Properties" Start >Settings >Control Panel >Internet ("Internet Properties") -"Connection" tab / in the top part labeled "Connection" you will see: "Connect to the Internet using a modem" "Connect to the Internet using a local area network" select "Connect to the Internet using a modem" and the "Settings..." button to the right will become available, click on it. You will get a "Dial-up Settings" dialog box, down near the bottom you will see a "Disconnect if idle for \|XX\| minutes" which you can check and uncheck and set a time for. There are, I'm sure, several ways to affect this parameter and this solution is based on the assumption that it is Win NT that is signaling the disconnect. mowa
