We have just set up a network in work,allowing all 4 pc's to access the
internet from the server which is connected to an ISDN line.(Broadband not
available yet.)
The problem we have is when you disconnect from the Internet or e-mail
program on any of the Networked pc's, the server stays connected.
When it was a stand alone pc it used to disconnect after 5 minutes if idle,
but now it won't let me into the advanced settings where I can set it to
disconnect if idle.The advanced box is greyed out.

The server pc is using win 98se.
Any help would be appreciated.

Normally it's intended to be always-on; is there a reason you want to
"disconnect", such as hoping it will make up for lack of a firewall? If that's
the case, well, disconnecting won't help as you can get infected by something
like Blaster well within whatever short time it takes to check your email.
