Auto Disconnect lost

Using XP with SP2 and IE 6 as well as OE6. I have checked the "Disable
connection if no longer needed" box in both programs. When I close either IE
and/or OE, the connection does not disconnect, nor do I get the box asking If
I wish to disconnect. My virus program is set to update every 7 days, so that
is not running. Don't believe I have any other updates that might be trying
to run. The Microsoft knowledge base does not address this issue with XP nor
IE6 or OE6. The only suggestions I found on a related link said to make
changes in the registry. by making changes in DWORDS under
EnableAutodisconnect. Found where this should be, but it isn't there. Only
binary files are there.
Dialup modem service is the only available option that I have. What can I
do to get back this option? Used to have Norton AV which would mess it up
occasionally but have uninstalled it as much as the program would allow in
the usual ways.
Thanks for any suggestions--except to get a better brain so that I can
remember to manually disconnect without a reminder.

This has nothing to do with IIS, you might want to try XP or IE newsgroups.

Hello,

There is probably one application somewhere that is keeping its connection,
thus preventing your machine from disconnecting.

I would recommend you to post this into a newsgroup for Windows XP, in case
they know some known bugs about this. I would also include a list of
applications that is installed. You may also get some useful information by
running "netstat -a" to get a list of applications that has established a
connection.

Good luck with your problem, and i hope that you get it resolved.
