I've got a brand spanking new G4 12". Love it. But when I'm connected every once in awhile a box appears asking me if I want to stay connected. If I do nothing it will disconnect me. Can I change this? Thanks.

This is with PPPoE or with dial up?

Either way you can fix it quite easily. Simply open the Network Preference Pane in System Preferences. Select the ethernet (or modem if dial up) device (double click). Then for ethernet go to the PPPoE tab, and click on the button PPPoE Options...

In that resulting sheet (a dialogue that slides down from the top of the screen) uncheck "Prompt every (number) minutes to maintain connection.

That should fix it!
