Internet gets disconnected after every 5 hours :(

[fanatic]

I have a Ras PPPoe over ethernet internet connection.
As I keep PC on 24/7 for downloads, my internet disconnects after every 5 hours.

I just need to know, is there anything I can do from my side, to stop this annoying problem of internet getting disconnected after every 5 hours.

Is it my ISP who has set some policy that the internet should disconnect after 5 hours.

Well i would like if anybody would come up with a idea, so that my internet never disconnects.


===============================================

Another issue:

First my network card used to show 100 Mbps speed, now its showing 10 Mbps speed??

I have a dual boot of win2000 and xp, so in both the OS its showing 10 Mbps although it was 100 Mbps a month ago.

Seems to be some strange thing with my internet eh!

But anyways i need ur help people.
===============================================

Thanks in advance

Hmmm... What Operating system ..?
In WinXP .. Try this :
Start > Run > Cmd (press enter) ..
Ipconfig /all (press enter) ..
See what under what adaper your connection is listed and make a note of it ..
then do this thing ..
Ipconfig /renew adapter (change adapter with the what you have ..Like PPP ) ...

It wont work with DHCP adapters ... If you got a permenent IP address , then it should work ..

Me is also disconnected every two hours from Sancharnet ..And the above command doesnt help me ...

All Exatt servers are setup to automatically disconnect after 5 hours. Simply tick the "Redial if line is dropped" box in options and it will reconnect automatically.

@ rajas700, you have bumped a 2 yr old to ask what is already answered in the above posts. If you scroll above you get the answer that the settings are done on the server and you cant help it. anyways instead of bumping such old posts you could have started a new thread.
