For the "Maximum idle time" & "Auto-reconnect" I'm assuming you are on a
PPPoE connection.
Some DSL providers run both PPPoE & dynamic in different areas.
I'm not 100% sure in your area which it is.
In the Basestation management tool on the WAN page.
The same page where the "Maximum idle time" feature is listed.
================================================== ====================
On the wireless computer Uninstall the Broadband networking utility.
And use Windows XP to configure the wireless connection.
The Broadband networking utility has some issues like the one you just
mentioned on Windows XP.
Seeing as Windows XP is the first OS from Microsoft to fully support
wireless networking you can use Windows instead.
Also disable 802.1x authentication for the wireless connection as the
MN-500 doesn't support it.
