Exclamation Auto-Reconnect

Hi all, i got a 56k dial-up connecton with an ISP which disconnects me from the internet every 2 hrs. When the 2hrs is up, a box comes up saying that the connection has been disconnected and asks if i want to connect.

This never used to happen!
When the 2hrs was up it would automatically connect. How do i make this happen again??

Do you not have an option on the dial up box to 'connect automatically' ?

Ok, what ISP are you using.

And did you use their setup disk?

Some ISPs require a short period of time for a reconnect.

Yes, but that doesn't answer my question...netzero is one that does this.

Also what version of Windows?
