Auto Disconnect

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I've read several threads about Auto Disconnect but not about what surprised
me today. During a long download from McAfee, after 20 minutes the Auto
Disconnect dialog box came up. If I hadn't been there to say "stay
connected", it would have disconnected although the connection was definitely
not idle - it was downloading. Win 98 used to do this too but I thought it
would be fixed by now. Is there a setting to help?
