    Any programs out there to help with internet disconnecting?

    I am in dom republic playing online poker and the internet goes out every little bit, is there any program out there i can download that will do anything to help, like boost the internet connect, notify me when it goes out, etc?

    hardly, thats either a hardware problem or your isp sucks.
    or maybe even some spyware/trojan.virus in ur computer messin with ya
    u should submit a support ticket to your isp and see what they found out (after sending tech to your place)

      icq will keep your connection live if you are on a dialup that auto disconnects you when there is no packets being sent after a set amount of time.

        as far as telling if you are online you could make a simple html page that refreshes an iframe then place it as your desktop background

              many isp's have an idle limit , like 30 mins so if the connection is idle for 30mins it drops you
