Please don't make multiple threads about the same question.

welcome to the forum first of all. its tom by the way ;-)

i havent seen any posts related to dongles so all i can think of is try to extend your timeout session to more however i dont know how you would do that sorry. perhaps Exa would be even more helpful as to point you in the correct direction for your answer or the topic that directly answers your question.

happy days :-)

I would like to make everyone happy by answering the question.

You really can't extend the time-out period. There are no settings for it. BTW, what kind of "dongle" are you talking about. Can you link some kind of picture, or be more descriptive as to what it does? With more information I can be more helpful.

WELCOME TOM!

what a nice guy sprint media is and how honest of his feelings. what a gentleman indeed, i am impressed with the tone you used on your last comment to exaspidey! but exaspidey is pointin him in some sort of direction, maybe not the right one, but just letting him know not to post things more than once.

You need to know if your WiFi dongle is setup correctly. You need to get it setup to redirect signals and not to act as a network card for the PC.
The PC also needs to be configured. When it's trying to get an IP address it's waiting for a DHCP service which is probably not running on your PC.

Use windows help and investigate internet connection sharing. It'll be a good start. As for getting the dongle configured.... All I can suggest is google
