It sounds like you have app running that has it's prefs set to "automatically connect" when needed. AIM is infamous for that. Since your prefs are set up for disco at 10 mins, the OS will do that, but when this other piece of s/w decides it needs a connection, it will establish one. Could be AIM, iTunes, Mail, etc. However, I have seen this happen even with no apps open, especially with dialup. Check for apps that require connectivity and let us know what you find. Then we'll move on to the next step.

Hello,
I've just recently installed OS 10.2.8 on my G3-mt and it is working fine. However, last night I noticed that the interconnect to internet went on automatically while I was doing something else. This morning when I brought up my screen, I saw that the connection to the internet had been on for 27 minutes even though it is supposed to go off if not being used fo 10 minutes. I don't like this. How can I stop this?
Thanks
Thanks,
Glenn
