PPPOE Connection Idle Timeout

Hi,
I am connecting internet through PPPOE using NetworkManager Applet which came with the installation. But when the system is left idle for more than 10 minutes Network disconnects automatically. How Can I prevent that?
Thanks

You need to set the idle timeout to ā€œ0ā€. Default value is 600 seconds (10 minutes). With Network Manager, Iā€™m not sure where the option for that is, but this may help.

I use YAST / Network Devices / Modems to set up my connections, and there is an option there to set time out interval.
