Stay Online software is a small tool that will help you stay online without getting disconnected for lack of use.

Tired of getting disconnected by your ISP? Try Stay Online!!!

Pings the internet randomly between selected minutes.

For instance if you select 2 for Min and 6 for Max, then it would ping at random intervals between 2 and 6 minutes. By default it pings between 1 and 3 minutes which I have found to be the best intervals.

I have used this program for several years, from Windows 95 to XP. If you lose your connection to the internet for any reason, you need to close the program and restart it if you re-connect.

I have even let it ping while downloading programs and it doesn't corrupt the download; although, I think it is wiser to stop the program while downloading. Once connected to the web, start 'Stay Online,' click 'Start Auto' and it will do the rest.

Click 'OK' to send it to the system tray. Click 'Ping' to send out a single ping to see how the program notifies you that it is pinging. Right click the icon in the tray to show.
