When users connect to the Internet via our company network, they do not get disconnected due to inactivity because many websites adware, etc. make it appear that the connection is active. Is there someway to force the Internet Connection to drop when say our 10 minute screen saver activates or some other way? Our uses all use dell workstations or laptops running XP Pro SP2 with at least 512 KB of RAM.

It's a LAN connection going through a Cisco Pix firewall.

you could just set the power profile of their computer to turn off LAN connections when it goes to standby, then set standby @10 minutes.

Thankyou. I'll work with my IT, but we will need to identify if FTP or an application or download is active, so we don't disconnect a production activity.
