I leave my PB on at night but it always logs off. I have a dsl modem and I've tried checking the boxes in PPPoE but that doesn't let me on the internet. Does anyone know any other settings that I can change? Thank you.

define "log off." PPPoE is completely unrelated to you looking at the login window when you get to the computer in the morning.

Check your uptime and the system.log to see if there is anything interesting in there.

ACSA 10.4/10.3, ACTC 10.3, ACHDS 10.3

The window that comes up says "Log out has timed out because Firefox has failed to quit." All other applications have quit. I'm not sure how I am supposed to check the system.log. The settings in the System Preferences > Energy Savor is set to never go off and never bring up the screen savor.

Check your Security preference pane, and make sure the "Log out after [60] minutes of inactivity" box is unchecked.

Thanks. That seemed to do the trick.
