When I leave my airport on all the time, i think its my isp that kicks me off for inactivity (DSL), anyway, I remember I saw something about a program or utility that pings every so often to keep the connection alive but can't remember it. Can someone point to the right utility or solution?

First off, this belongs in the Networking forum-I'll move it there. Second, what's your ISP? I've never heard of ANY DSL ISP worrying about inactivity. The beauty of a DSL connection is that it's supposed to be "always on," so there should be no problems with when you're not using it.

It's more likely that your Mac is going to sleep and dropping the Airport connection.
I do not like those green links and spam.
