Remove Internet connection reminder window

Hello,
Is there a way to remove that window that is always reminding me that my Internet connection is still on? It pops up every 15 minutes and it is getting annoying. But I can't find any option button to stop this. Where is it?
Thanks in advance for your answers,
Frédéric

Are you using a dial-up connection or ADSL/DSL?
If dial-up: Set your Internal Modem preferences to never disconnect, disconnect after a longer period of inactivity, or to not disconnect if switched to another user:1. Open System Preferences > Network.
2. Select Internal Modem in the Show pop-up menu.
3. Select the PPP tab.
4. Click the PPP Options... button.
5. A sheet appears containing the various disconnect-related preferences. Make changes accordingly.
6. Click OK.
7. Click Apply Now.
8. Confirm your intent to apply the changes.
If ADSL/DSL: The Disconnect options are a bit buried. This should sort it out:1. Open System Preferences > Network.
2. Select Built-in Ethernet from the Show pop-up menu.
3. Select the PPPoE tab.
4. Click PPPoE Options. A sheet appears.
5. Change the "Prompt" and the various "Disconnect" options in the sheet, as desired.
6. Click OK. The sheet closes.
7. Click Apply Now.
8. Confirm your intent to apply the changes.Note that some of the information above is from the "Networking" chapter of my book, Troubleshooting Mac® OS X, Tiger Edition.
Good luck!

  • Internet connection reminder

    Every 15 min I get an "internet connection reminder" that asks me if I want to stay connected to the Internet. If I don't click "stay connected", after a short time, my connection gets lost. Can't find this in preferences anywhere.

  • Internet Connection Reminder pop up window?

    Hi everybody. I just purchased my first mac and I love everything about it. I'm glad this forum is here. Maybe someone can help resolve my issue? I have a pop up window that appears about every 15 minutes.
    It says: Internet Connect
    This is your reminder that your connection is still active. Do you wish to remain connected?
    Disconnect--Stay connected
    If I don't press the stay connected button than it will disconnect.
    I'm using DSL with a modem.
    Is there any way to get rid of it and keep a constant connection?
    Any help would be appreciated

    Hi! The modem normally has settings that can only be accessed through a web browser such as described HERE. One of the settings should say something like "connection type" with a drop down menu with something similar to connect on demand and smart keep alive. If anything other than the smart option is chosen the box below it says "connection timeout" which can be set in minutes. In THIS article you can see the menus. If you go into the modem either write down all the settings as you see them for reference or be sure than you don't change anything BUT having to do with the smart connection. Tom

  • New iMac running lion 10.7.2...partitioned drive for  windows xp pro ...successfully installed...up and running(duel boot) but no internet connection on windows side...need drivers?.....please help

    new imac running lion 10.7.2     partitioned HD for duel boot and successfully installed windows xp pro (sp2)....have internet through eithernet cable on the mac side but no internet connection on the windows side....need drivers????   please help

    I too am running xp spiii on my mac with lion. However I installed xp while running snow leopard then upgraded to lion and both are running fine. If you have the support disc that came with the imac all the relevant drivers are on there. The only other thing i would suggest is that you get spiii and upgrade to that.
    Hope that helps

  • No internet connection on windows xp

    i downloaded windows xp sp2 on my mac using bootcamp and it worked fine except i cant get internet while using windows, any suggestions?

    I also have problems with Windows Vista Enterprise connecting to the internet. I get wireless connectivity, but the ethernet plug-in does not work. If I reinstall the bootcamp 3.0 drivers then it works until I reboot or turn the computer off. The next time I start Windows, no internet/ network connections and I have to re-install the drivers again. I'm not installing bootcamp drivers every time I have to boot the system. This is NOT a Windows problem - this is Apple.

  • HP Pavilion 15t Issues with Limited Internet Connectivity on Windows 8

    So, I just received my new HP Pavilion 15t-e000 CTO Notebook PC last week, it runs Windows 8, & it's a 64 bit.
    The only problem I've had is staying connected to my wireless Internet. The connection will cut out at random intervals saying "Limited" instead of "Connected". I constantly have to disconnect and connect to my wireless Internet. It is especially frustrating when I am trying to download something that takes longer than a couple of minutes because the Internet connection cuts out and I have to start the process all over again.
    I have tried pretty much every "fix" people have posted that have worked for some people. No such luck for me. Sometimes it seems like it will stay connected and then I try to connect to a web page or download something and it goes out again.
    - Turning off the "Allow computer to turn off this device to save power" under Power Management in the Properties section of my Wireless connection.... DID NOT WORK
    - Using the command prompt to reset the network adapter ... DID NOT WORK
    - Running the Network and Internet and whatever else Troubleshooters ... DID NOT WORK ***Update: If I run the network connection test via the HP Help/Support center on my desktop while the connection says Limited, I receive the notice that the "default gateway was not available" and the router was reset and issue fixed, etc. BUT, if I run the test while the wireless says Connected, the test always says there is no problem. And even though the test "fixed" the issue, it didn't because the Internet always cuts out again.
    - Windows Updates has installed new updates a few times ... DID NOT WORK
    - Forgetting the Wireless Network and Setting it Up as a new one again ... DID NOT WORK
    - Using my computer right next to my wireless router ... DID NOT WORK
    The wireless router being used is: Cisco Linksys Wireless-G 2.4GHz Broadband Router and our network is WPA with a security code. We also have a SpeedStream DSL Internet thing (sorry, I don't know what it is called). The compatibility center says this router is compatible with Windows 8 by the way. Other computers running Windows 7 and Windows Vista, iPhones, and iPads all work fine.
    My laptop uses Intel(R) Centrino(R) Wireless-N 2230 and the light is on and it always says "device is working properly" in Properties.
    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated because I am at my wits end.
    Thanks
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    So, it seems my issue with the Limited Internet connection has been resolved. I didn't use my computer for two days and this afternoon when I turned it on I was still having issues. However, I went into the HP Support Assistant and it popped up that I had some updates to download and install, so I let it do its thing. It took a while because the Internet kept cutting out, but once the update for the Intel Wireless finally installed, my connection has STAYED CONNECTED. Finally!
    I don't know why when I went into the wireless properties it said "device is working properly" and when I tried to Update the driver it said "your driver is the latest version" or whatever.
    I suggest you go to the HP Support Assistant and check for updates in the "Updates and Tune-Ups" section. It was kind of random, but knock on wood my Wireless connection issue looks to be gone.
    Hope this helps
    P.S.
    Here's a screen shot of what the HP Support Assistant (it is the one with the big question mark logo) main screen looks like :

  • Internet Connect Reminder

    I recently got a DSL connection which requires PPPoE. The connection works just fine. However, every half hour or so while I am connected I get a box popping up in the middle of my screen which says...
    Internet Connect
    This is your reminder that your conection is still active. Do you wish to remain connected?
    This box pops up over everything, which is very irritating when I am working on something or watching a movie. Is there any way, other than logging off the internet, to prevent this from popping up?

    In Network>Configure>PPP>PPP Options, there is a box for Prompt every xx minutes to stay conected... uncheck it.

  • Internet Connect: Reminder Settings?

    I connect to the Internet via DSL, the one and only broadband service available in my neck of the woods. It seems that about every 10-15 minutes I get a message box popping up, "Internet Connect: This is your reminder that your connection is still active. Do you wish to stay connected?" The default highlighted choice is "Stay Connected."
    Now, I find this is getting more than a little annoying! I do not know if this "service" is regulated by my ISP or by my iMac. If this is a function of Internet Connect, can I reset the frequency of this little "reminder"?

    Go to System Preferences > Network.
    At Show, select Built-in Ethernet.
    Under the PPPoE tab, select PPPoE Options.
    Under Session Options, deselect "Prompt every XX minutes to maintain connection".
    Select OK and then Apply Now to save the changes.

  • I have an iPad mini - trying to set up a wifi internet connection on Windows 7 laptop.

    Have a new iPad and need to still set it up.  Problem is that it needs to connect to a wifi internet connection which I have set up on my Win7 laptop.  The iPad mini sees the network but can't connect to it.........  What am I doint wrong?  I have set the network up via the adhoc network set up and have done everything as per the turorials I have seen, but it still won't to connect.  Is this possible and if so, how do I do it?  I have tried the ad-hoc network way and the iPad recognises it but can't connect to it.  THANKS A MIL

    Windows 7 Home Basic does not support ad hoc or hosted network functionality (what Connectify and Virtual Router use). At a minimum you would need to upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium. Note the Applies to these editions of Windows 7 statement at the right in this article.

    Again using a broadband wireless (WiFi) router is the best way to go presuming its in your budget.

  • Periodically lose virtual machine (Parallels) internet connection on windows 7

    Running OS X Mavericks 10.9.5
    Parallels 9.0.24172 running Windows 7 enterprise
    Internet connection would periodically time out, and force a reboot of the virtual machine to regain connection.
    Using a wired connection.

    Changing the network configuration settings for the virtual machine from "Shared connection" to "Ethernet" (for my specific connection) solved this problem. It seems there is an issue with the shared connection feature for Parallels and OS X.
    At the Parallels virtual machine selection:
    1. Right click on the virtual machine
    2. Select Configure
    3. Choose the Hardware tab
    4. Select Network or Network '#'
    5. Change the network Type
    6. Choose your preferred type
         Ex. If you are using a WiFi connection select WiFi.
         (You may have to re-enter the SSID and Password to your router/network for the virtual machine).
         In this selection window : Using "Shared connection" is what caused the connectivity problems for my computer.

  • Slow Wifi Internet Connection on Windows 7

    I recently got a brand new iMac 27 inch (late 2013) I need to have Windows installed because of some compatibility problems with some programs I use for my work. I follow all the instruction on how to install Windows using bootcamp and I have installed Windows 7 Ultimate Edition. Everything is working fine but my Internet connection when I am using the Windows partition is ridiculously slow, on the contrary when I am using the MacOSx the Internet connection is fine. Can anyone help me to solve it?

    Is there anyone that can help me?

  • I'm stumped on this one. WRT110 drops Internet connectivity with Windows 7.

    I've had my router for a good 4 years now. I have Time Warner RoadRunner for my ISP. Running Windows 7 on my laptop, and have several devices connected at different times via wireless. 
    I was having Internet dropouts multiple times per day. Powering down the router for about 10 seconds fixed it until the next one. I figured the router was dying, so I bought a new one. Had the exact same issues, so I returned the router and kept the WRT110. Next step was to swap out my cable modem. I got the newest one they had (which is a Cisco). This still did not fix the problem. So I put up with it. FYI - this is not a modem issue. Many times I have checked to make sure I have Internet connectivity via a direct connect to the modem, and it has always had a steady Internet connection, even when the router has dropped Internet.
    Then one day my hard drive crashed on my laptop. I decided to throw Ubuntu on my new hard drive. I ran it for a month or more, and I noticed that the Internet dropouts almost completely went away. I didn't have to get up and reset the router every hour or two. Well after getting a bit tired of Ubuntu, I re-installed Windows 7, and now the dropouts are back, and more annoying than ever. 
    The only thing I can come up with is the wireless driver Windows is using is somehow affecting the router in the way it and the wireless adapter are talking. It seems to only drop Internet when I'm using the laptop. Even if I just have the laptop powered on, and I am trying to watch Netflix on my TV, or browse apps on my tablet, I will lose Internet.
    Anybody have any suggestions? (I just lost Internet again while typing this, and I just reset it 15 minutes ago)

    I suggest you to play around with the wireless settings on the router, Like changing the wireless name , channel and the type of wireless security.
    This link will guide you;http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=80&vw=1&articleid=3698 
    Also, you check the firmware of the router by going to the status tab on  the interface.
    Website you can check to download it.

  • Sharing internet connection with Windows via Airport

    Happy New Year, all!
    I have an iMac Intel Core Duo connected to an ADSL modem via ethernet. I'd like to share my internet connection via Airport with a Windows laptop (which is running XP with SP2). I've read that this is possible and I've tried setting it up but the laptop isn't seeing the Airport network at all.
    I've created a network with security off, from the Airport drop-down menu in the iMac menu bar, turned Internet Sharing on (Share from: ethernet - to computers using: Airport). I have Windows Sharing and Personal Web Sharing turned on, and my firewall is off. But the Airport network still doesn't show up on the laptop.
    Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong, or at least point me in the right direction.
    Many thanks in advance.

    i am having the same problem. i have the mac connected but when i go to windows i can't get the page open that says to connect. when i run the mouse over the icons at the bottom of the page it shows the airport signal being excellent. but i just can't get to a page to enter the "key to connect". it is greyed out and shows that it is limited or not connectivity.
    please someone help!
