You might want to disconnect your dial up settings under network connections under control panel and set your broadband connection as your default.  If all fails .. call your ISP

Depending on how your computer is physically connected to your Broadband connection, the most likely answer is that your computer is going into some type of power-saving mode when it has been idle for a time and as part of that power-saving sequence, it is turning off its network connection to the Broadband.\n\nThen, when your computer is coming out of its idle-state, it is unable to reactivate its link to the Broadband connection and thus nothing comes up in IE.\n\nI would check your computer's settings in regards to its idle-state, network and power-saver settings.

JRV's answer looks great... but since you're only on a single PC, I'd think the onus is probably fair and square back on your provider.\n\nI GUESS this occurs at "random" times, rather than always when u r in a certain program, or doing a certain operation, or opening the same webpage ?\nIf so, sounds like simply a dodgy DSL line coming in - they SHOULDN'T cut off like that.\n\n(I'm in New Zealand, that may be slightly different, but probably not much.  My DSL line MIGHT cut off maybe once a month at MOST - and I'm a heavy user.)\n\nSo I suggest you DO ring SBC customer support... probably endure 50 semi-inane questions they'll fire at you, and THEN get them to check your line, or whatever they do.)\n\nGood luck - do let's know the outcome  :-)

yeah, go to control panel, network connections, right-click on the dial-up connection and disable it.

if you are on dialup, your connection might be slow and u might be getting disconnected from time to time.

A dial up is a different thing then a broadband.  A dial up uses the telephone network to link you to internet.  Thus, a fax transmission is possible.  As a broadband has no link with the telephone network, you will need to enlist the services of a provider, who will provide you with an interface bwtween the two systems.  Something called efax.\n\nAs you said, you have a lap top, this should be having a built in modem.  Just plug in your telephone jack in the RJ 45 socket and configure your fax programme.

This  is because your dial up connection setting is set to never dial a connections. To enable it, you can go the your tools setting on the  browser. Then select the option, follow by the connections. Change the "Never dial a connection" to "Always dial my default connection". Lastly, click OK and try to dial it see whether can or not. As a condition,you must set your dial up connection to default first.

Yes I do the problem is that the size of the file must be too large or you have Dial-Up. I think its the file is too large try reconnecting your modem. Good Luck Finding out what it is

are you on dial up? If so sometimes servers are slow on disconnectiong from dial up so this is why your hearing this...or it may also be that you have it set up to run in the background go to run type in msconfig and look for the programs name and disable it.....

Yeah! Get rid of your dialup and go with DSL or cable broadband!

A friend had this exact same problem - see source.\n\nAlternatively (unlikely!) does your friend only have a time limited dial-up connection eg not 24/7 but only available between certain hours?  If so, is she exceeding the time cut-off limit?

ok, here, i'll explain, in much better etail than the other 2 answers. \nA dial-up modem is really nothing more than a telephone. only, it is programed to interpret certain sounds/electrical signals that come from the telephone as somthing that your computer can understand. because of this, it does act as a telephone call, thus, you cannont make any calls on that line. \n\na DSL modem is basically the same thing, believe it or not. it still uses your phone line, but, it uses a different frequency to transfer information. it uses a higher frequency of the phone line, like the fast and slow lanes of a highway. but, the major difference between the dial-up modem and the DSL one right now is that the DSL modem has to be configured to recieve these high frequency messages.\n\na Cable modem is completely different from both dial-up and DSL modems. a cable modem uses a different wire, instead of a telephone wire, it uses a digital coaxle wire. this wire supports more data transfer at a time than phone wires do, thus, you may get higher speeds of interent.\n\nnow, there is one last thing that is usually overlooked. as you probably know, you have 1+ telephone wire per a house. and this wire, never joins with other wires. thus, it is alwayse only you on your phone, nodoby else. because of this, DSL's speed of internet remains relativly the same throught the day. However, the coaxle cable that you have for a cable modem joins togeather with everyone in your community, so, if more people are on the internet in your community, then your connection will be slower. so, at different times during the day, your connection may be slightly faster of slower, depending on how many other people in your community are on the internet.

do you mean the disconnection timeout? if you do it right click your dialup icon / click properties / select options /  have a look at your redialling options.

Do you have a firewall or pop up blocker running?  Those can cause what you describe
