My iBook G4 800 running 10.3.2 logs off of the network at my office
when it has been inactive for about 30 minutes. The office network is
a Win2k peer-to-peer arrangement. DHCP is on. I have AppleTalk turned
on, too, so I can use my LaserJet 6MP (through an AsanteTalk bridge)
at home. It's not a big deal, but I have to restart all the programs I
was running and relocate current Safari web pages (sometimes multiple
tabs) so it can be a time waster. Any idea how I can set the
preferences to allow inactivity for a longer period of time? The PC's
on the network are never kicked off for inactivity.

TIA - John

If your network came with software, or an IP address for configuration, you
could change your network activity settings to not turn off at a certain
time. I know Asante has this feature but I am not sure what router you are
using. It could be also that your mac's network prefs are set to log out for
security reasons at a certain time. Could be in the "firewall" settings.

Kind Regards,
