Not all NICs have this option so you may not have it.
ok, my NIC doesnt have this option. So, I turned off sleep mode, and will be watching for any kind of problem now (ie.. disconnecting after a certain time frame or whatnot) Thanks everyone for your help. I will keep you posted.
RandallT, those articles are very confusing to me.

ok good news, I hope... After my last post, I left my computer. just got back on, and everything still seems connected. I hope that by switching the sleep mode off, I have fixed this problem. Again, thanks everyone for your help. Nice to know, I could count on y'all.

Sorry man, they were not meant to be that way. I wanted you to read through them and try a couple of the tips.
