Browser timeout fetching web page

colbec

I am connecting to my isp over dial-up through a router using Windows 98 SE.
When I request a website and am not currently connected to the isp the
router obediently dials out and connects, but by the time the connection is
made and authorized the IE6 browser has timed out and I have to refresh to
get the page. I would like to increase the timeout to allow the page to come
in first time if possible. Any hints as to what setting can be adjusted?

Thanks.

There are 2 ways around this

1) Always make sure that you are connected b4 requesting the page

2) Increase the timeout for the script

You can do this by adding something like this at the top of the script

set_time_limit(2*60)

This would give the script 2 minutes to run. Although to be honest unless you are using huge amounts of data (like a big db backup) then no script should really take that long to run.
