Looked into ISP side of things, but that doesn't seem to be the problem. When Limeware drops out, I am not losing my internet connection even though that is what the program is telling me is the problem. Am wondering if the problem is with the Limeware program in that it is assuming if there is a certain amount of idle time (say 2 minutes) then it needs to disconnect. Don't know if I am explaining things properly, but seems to me that it is a problem with the software and not my computer or the XP program. Thanks for your input.
