hi
i just got a vigor 2200usb dsl router. i was wandering if anybody knows how to set it, so when it is idle for 5 mins it will hang up the line (knock it off)

You seem to be confusing us with a PC Support Forum?????

Sorry mate, haven't set this one up myself.

sorry rodders, i post this question up because mathew seems to noe alot about this tyoe of stuff.

Why would you want to hang up the line with ADSL when the whole idea is that it is always on !

If you are worried about the PC being vulnerable while you are not there then either configure the built in firewall on the Draytek or switch off your PC.

There is however a way of doing what you require on the Draytek:-

1) Login to the Router's Web Configurator

2) On the router's main menu select Internet Access setup

3) Select your internet access mode - PPoE/PPPoA

4) The ISP access setup screen has an idle timeout box - set this to 300 seconds (5 mins)

All this info is on pages 14,15,16 of the user guide - so to prevent Rodders getting unhappy it might be worth having a good read before posting these questions to this forum again

not used this piece of kit myself mate - but looks like Dobbin has all your answers.

good work that man!



would second the point about leaving it on all the time - why do you want to hang up an always on connection?

make sure your built in firewall is working.

look at a software firewall to prevent any malicious outgoing traffic (your router will not stop this)

look into [url="http://www.myne****chman.com"]myne****chman[/url] and report all the intrusion attempts
