help pelase someone,

I finnaly got adsl at home (whooopeee)...i was wondering if someone can help me here, with my service provider if there is no data transfer for more than 6 hrs then i get disconnected, even if im downloading of MIRC, anyway to make the pc to go onto websites automatically every half an hour so it shows data being transfered, so i dont get my MIRC download to stop half way due to disconnection from server due to no activity.

Have your mail program check for email every couple of hours, that should do the trick.

Either that or keep a webpage loaded that refreshes itself periodically - like one of the sports score sites.

I seem to prefer the mail one,

I ve set it to every 10 mins, but will it work if i dont receive any mail?

Yea it will still work. Your e-mail program will still log into the server and check to see if there are any new messages. So there still will be activity.
