cable is on line all of the time. Unless - for some reason, it is down! Just
like a dial up could go down. It doesnt' have to go thru a procedure like a dial
up does - to 'dial in' to get online. It is basically, hotwired direct, 24
hours/ day 7 days /week. If I want to go off line, basically, I unplug my cable
wire from my modem, or the power cord. Of course, if I do that, it takes several
boots and time to get it up and running and it re-configures itself. Like after
a power outage. I've been on a cable modem for years, and seriously, I've never
heard of anyone's cable shutting down their computer! My vote is that there is
something else going on in whoever it was now's laptop that keeps shutting down!
I'd be clueless as to venture a guess what it is, since it isn't that virus -
but someone here will figure it out!!! That, I'm sure of!!!

Under Tools> general> there is a box to put in how many minutes you would like
to check for new mail, I have mine set on 14 minutes , so I don't get
disconnected so often from my ISP. I wonder if that option with cable would
start up your computer if it was idle & off ?
just a thought , I have had so many weird things happen with mine, so I question
a lot :)

I'm on a cable - regular computer - I've never had it restart my computer! the
cable may go off a second here and there, but how could it restart a computer?

May I ask if you are on a dial up or cable service? I have heard that cable
service sometimes restarts your computer if left on.

Faythe,
I'm on dial up.
