After receiving my mail the system dis-connects from the internet. I
have gone to tools, options and connections and the box for "hang up
after sending and receiving" is checked . Don't know why but I
uncheck it and then a couple days later it gets checked. I have no
idea why this is happening. Any suggestions.

You don't mention your Outlook version, so I'm assuming Outlook 2002/2003.
Try this: Click ToolsE-mail AccountsNext. Select your account and click
Change. Click More Setting and select the Connections tab. Select the
radio button labeled "Connect using my local area network".
