How to change settings of connections timeout in registry

Hey Sara,

I would be more than happy to help you with your queries, though you have not mentioned what browser you are using, I assume you are using IE. To change these values for IE, follow the below steps:

1. START->RUN->type REGEDIT and then ENTER

2. Find 'HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionInternetSettings'

3. Edit->NEW->DWORD Value.

4. Please type ' KeepAliveTimeout ' and Enter

5. Edit->Modify

6. Type the customized time (in miliseconds, i.e 3min=180000) and SAVE

7. Restart IE and you will be done.

Thanks.
