Hello Ankit, Thank you very much for your response.
Unfortunately, in my case, I don't believe that the method you suggested is feasable. My connection supports a Web/Ftp/Game Server and thus has to be connected to the Internet and available 24/7 so that my potential clients can see my Web page and play the Game that I offer. I have been running my system using the "persist" option to keep me connected to the Internet for over a year and its worked perfectly. I believe that there must be some type of Bug in the "persist" area of the Code that is going bad. Thank you again for your suggestion.
