our entire area is hardwired by 7star and they bought them over...so its all lan based.
i wonder if a small app / program could be written that would re-login at the site when the connection gets disconnected at night

vivek, what you need is a macro recorder to automate the login process, by recording mouse clicks and keystrokes to replicate the web login.
Automate 6 is one such app, the one i use is Jitbit Macro Recorder as it's the only one i found to have a vista-compatible version.
then i just use the vista built-in task scheduler to run the macro every 10hrs. this has helped me to solve 90% of the disconnection problem i faced previously.
drop me a PM if you need further help to set it up.

well i was able to do most of the stuff...login and re-log in with automate 6, BUT was not able to tell it to run this when the ping to yahoo.com times out...
basically what i do is run a cmd window with a ping command "%windir%\system32\ping.exe Yahoo! -t -l 1".
this ensures that i dont need to be at my comp during the day. Now i need the automate proggy to run the login only 5 minutes after the above ping times out. That part i have not been able to do.
The other option is to run a task scheduler every 3 hours to logout and re-login using automate. (that i have not figured out too)
so any help will be appreciated.

@vivek, i think triggering a task when the ping times out might be a little tricky to do. you might be better off scheduling the task every 3hrs. automate should have a built-in scheduler (not sure though coz i've not used it before).
in my case, using JitBit Macro Recorder, i just use windows task scheduler to execute the macro script at regular time intervals. JitBit allows the macro script to run itself, as though it was a .exe application. in that sense, it works very well with windows task scheduler.

thats what i figured too..
i did set up a task that would run everyday between 8pm and 9 am every 2 hours, where it would first log off the site and re-login.
will let you know if it works tomorrow morning.
then i could share that particular task in automate6 so everyone with the same problem could use it if required.
