How do I permanently disable PPPOE AutoDisconnect on Windows 7 X64

Question

I have a PPPOE connection and it comes up this message that the connection is been idle and it's going to auto disconnect, even when its not IDLE! I can press to stay connected BUT sometimes i'm watching an online streaming for example and the message goes background, so I get disconnected! I did uncheck the boxes for the services in internet options and the power saving configuration of the network card but the message keeps coming up!

Answer 1

Open up command prompt Start > Run > cmd > Enter, Then enter

net config server /autodisconnect:-1

This should do it.

Answer 2

I had the same problem on my Windows7 professional system and the answer Bibhas gave did not work with me either: access was denied for the command. I solved the problem the way described at: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itpronetworking/thread/1bf6993b-0132-4252-a675-6cb3b54e80c8 but with smal modifications. The problem was solved after I restarted the computer. This solution is based on the MS knowledge base article Q138365.

Start Regedit van find the Autodisconnect parameter in the registry under the subtree HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE under the subkey:

\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters

The value range is 0 to ffffffff hex (minutes). To disable Autodisconnect set it to ffffffff hex." The value -1 is not accepted, the value 0 makes the problem even worse. The highest possible value makes that the LAN will be disconnected automatically only after many years.
