Have you checked with your ISP to see if they are having issues?

If you are on dial up. and are using the xp dial up icon, double click on it. Select Properties -->then up at the top click on Options.

You'll see "idle time" set to 20 minutes. Set it to "never" and click OK. You should be all set.
