Kjell,

If you're using a modem, then it's probably because in your DUN
settings an option "Disconnect after xxx minutes when iddle" is
checked. Windows doesn't recognise the IP traffic generated by GPL.

This option can exist 2 times, once in your modem settings, and in
your DUN (ISP) settings.

If you are connected to the internet using a modem, look at your dialup
networking properties and make sure that any option to automatically
disconnect if the connection is inactive is disabled.  Windows doesn't seem
to count GPL's furious packet exchange as activity.  (I suspect Windows only
counts opening/closing/sending/receiving TCP data as activity, and GPL uses
only UDP).
