EPTAs far as I can tell I haven't put any restriction on my router times and it SHOULDN'T be disconnecting like this.
The router model is Linksys WRT54G.
I'll add more information if needed.

I cannot express the pain that has crossed my mind when I read your thread of how its screwing you over I feel your pain brother, I've done so much shit to fix and configure the router and its so hard doing it Wish I could find the answer to your problem right now, but gotta catch my zZz's Good luck though | ||

Are you getting an LAN IP address assigned automatically through the router's DHCP function? By default these things usually give leases for 1 day, so this is my best guess. I'm not clear on the details of DHCP implementation, but I think your service could be disrupted when you renew the lease. You can try assigning a static IP to your computer if this is the case. If not, try upgrading router firmware. It can't hurt. (usually...) | ||

Also, try to make sure that it's a problem with your router by having only your computer connected to the modem, and see if your computer stays connected through midnight. It could be a problem with windows xp/vista (unlikely, but it has happened before), or your modem. | ||

I'm definitely sure it's the router because when I had a direct connection to the modem before on my desktop I never had a problem with disconnection. I think the 1 day lease thing is correct, but how do I correct such a thing? How do I assign a static IP? And isn't assigning a static IP risky? I've heard somewhere that assigning a static IP is usually not recommended since its easier to hack or something o_o | ||

I've heard somewhere that assigning a static IP is usually not recommended since its easier to hack or something o_o If you're getting an IP address through DHCP you have to renew the lease--that's inherent to the system. You could try increasing the lease time (e.g. put in 9999 minutes for "Client Lease Time" on the first page of the WRT54G web interface), so if indeed this is causing your problem, it happens less often. I'm no expert on Internet security, but I wouldn't think assigning a static IP would be a security liability. It's only a very small difference local to your home network, and it's common practice for many machines in company/university/enterprise networks. In any case it's definitely more safe than doing port forwarding, which is in turn much much less risky than setting a DMZ for your computer or just connecting your computer straight to the modem If you want to set up a static IP for your computer the method's a little different depending on the OS. Just look it up online or ask me if you have Windows XP (what I have). | ||

log in with blank screen name and password : admin go to set up tab then ddns tab disable ddns that should solve ur problem DDNS continually auto changes ur ip address which would cause the refresh of ur connection at that certain time everyday | ||

I use XP as well and if you could run me through that that would be great. renegade_zerg: The DDNS is already disabled o_O | ||

If that doesn't work, check what task does windows have scheduled, it might be as well a software issue (unprobable, but possible) - antiviruses etc. If you're still having troubles, it might be ISP-side, you can check that. If you think you're crazy, connect to me via hamachi, enable RDP and PM me your admin account name//pass, I'll try to configure stuff myself =) | ||
