Script to Repair Internet Connection

My cable modem internet connection keeps dropping out if I don't stay on
constantly. Roadrunner has tried everything, but after replacing everything
they can't fix it.

I'm running Windows XP Home. I can get it back by clicking on:

Control Panel
Network and Internet Connections
Network Connections
Local Area Network
Support (tab)
Repair

Can I make a script or macro or something that will get me as close to that
combination as possible without all the clicking?

Thanks, Carol--

Someone else will need to help you with the script, but have you tried
adjusting the power management properties of the network adapter yet?
If not, go to Device Manager and find the network adapter entry.
Double-click it to get its Properties. Look on the Power Management tab
and uncheck the box that says "Allow Windows to turn off this device
when not in use". Apply and OK out.

Thanks I needed that. This wasn't my post, but I didn't know that option
existed. I use Qwest DSL, but have been having the same problem.
