Hello I am a university and am on a lan connection... about 2 or 3 weeks ago my aim started to disconnect me... at first it was just after I was idle for a long period, now if I am away from my computer for like 2 minutes I get disconnected... I have ran spy-bot, ad-aware, and my virus scanner... please help

HI,
Have you checked your NIC or wireless card settings?
They might be set to disconnect when idle.
Best of luck,
fredg

Thanks for posting a reply... I have know idea what I am doing when it comes to computers so I don't even know how to check those... I had a couple of my friends check my computer and they may have fixed it... I'm going home this weekend so I won't know if it is fixed till Monday... I'll post on Monday evening either way
Thanks
