If you havent got a "Always on" connection it will disconnect itself when you stand by/Hibernate I think, I'll assume you have to dail up to access the net, right?
If so then you can't do what your looking to do, you need a to get somthing like a cable modem thats running 24/7.

your ISP may ber booting you off after a certain amount of time. As to USB modems, (especially the Sagem 'modem' as i have the misfortune to have one) they are not all very good. My sagem disconnects frequently at random times, put me off downloading for good. You should consider buying a router, at the very least the router can be left on independently from the PC.

My provider gave me one of them Sagem pieces of cr@p too creaky, i feel your pain...
Then again, i had the chance to get me a motorola modem and haven't looked back since.
@Blueray : the problem is your modem, as it powers off when your comp goes to standby.
Try getting anohter modem that works on an independent power supply, that should fix it.

you know that thought came to mind the one with independent powers suply.
will netgear be a good choice it comes with a power adapter and stuff.
as for that crappy old sagem modem it is a insult to broadband.
frequent disconnections and it gets hot realy quickly and then flops.

Your very much welcome BluRay my friend, sorry I would'nt of said anything everything was just loading so slow with your big sig and a tonne of my band width being eaten by uTorrent ;)
Heres how big it should be:

Signatures
These rules exist to make viewing the forum as pleasant as possible to all users. Even though you might think signatures with large pictures look cool, some might find them extremely annoying.
1. Text-only signatures should have at most 5 lines of text.
2. An image-only signature should be less than 50kb in size, and be at most 500 pixels wide and 200 pixels tall.
3. If you use an animated picture in the signature, it should not be too distractive. Eg. blinking images or images with quick movement are not allowed.
4. If you want to use both text and image in your signature the image should not be more than 500 pixels wide and 100 pixels tall, and you can use up to three lines of text.
5. All the abovementioned rules for forum posts apply also to the signatures.
Violation of these rules does not lead to an immediate ban. However if requested user must edit his or her signature to fit these guidelines.
Your sig was 660px x 440px and 73.59kb
Was kinda nice though :) - http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i176/BluRay_2006/BluRayAfterDaw...

Between me and you it would be fun to see you as a mod for a day or two *read's The_Fiend's sig*
"If I see one more n00b qeustion I'm killing you all!"
Haha, would be funny stuff :)
Staying on track, yeh a router would be one way round it, its reccomended anyway so it can't hurt ;)

thnx for all the info guys.
but i realy dont wanna get a router.
number one i am guessing it is expensive.
number two i realy wanna invest in a MODEM rather than a router.
maybe my conception of router is wrong!
is a router a wireless device that works just like a modem except it is wireless?
i bet Mr.Fiend would definetly kill me for that nooby question.
so anyway hows my new sig? ray! does it fit in with the rules?

/me stabs Bluray in the eyes for being a n00b
Now, to answer that question, as i am in a rather good mood today...
A router is a device that :
A) works like a hardware firewall due to it's NAT *Network Adress Translation* and
B) lets you connect several computers together.
Routers CAN be wireless, but normal routers have wires running between them.
Webopedia's take on what a router is :
Quote:
(row´ter) (n.) A device that forwards data packets along networks. A router is connected to at least two networks, commonly two LANs or WANs or a LAN and its ISP?s network. Routers are located at gateways, the places where two or more networks connect.
Routers use headers and forwarding tables to determine the best path for forwarding the packets, and they use protocols such as ICMP to communicate with each other and configure the best route between any two hosts.
Very little filtering of data is done through routers.
Now, on to the netgear modem..
It has it's ups and downs, i had one a while back, but sold it because it got pretty hot and took ages to cool down.
I personally prefer Motorola modems *even the ones with the built in routers*, but they are quite expensive.
You could also have a look at Linksys or Sweex stuff, pretty sure both brands have modems, both wired and wireless.

you know i may go a little off track here, but i'd rather do that then open up a whole new thread, and pollute the forum room.
everyone seems to think Utorrent and ABC and azerus are good clients.
i personaly prefer BitTorando and Bicomet, even though bitcomet has a bad reputation.
but i dont like azerus that much.
and utorrent seems to take forever to download, whereas utorrent dosent even start to download.

Just thought I noticed something that may have been overlooked by us cable people.. BluRay, did you say you are Tiscali (they are getting famous for chopping people after so long of inactivity, and p2p just looks like that to them) and connecting to a phoneline as in dial up even if fast.. That may have some bearing on this issue, and your friends computers won't be going into standby mode.. just the monitor will be, it's in the advanced power settings in the bios.. Mine is set to go to standby mode after 30 minutes.
The_Fiend a moderator...now that would be really interesting.. lol
I love the quiver of terror in BluRay's posts.. he must have visited a certain persons homepage rofl :D
