Here is a simple solution to keep alive a wateen connection if you are using a WIFI router, which are getting common with the rise of WIFI capable cell phones and devices.
Most wifi routers can be easily flashed to run this opensource linux operating system dd-wrt www.dd-wrt.com which transforms your cheap wifi router into a high end networking equipment. I used a dlink dir-300 worth around Pak Rs. 3500/-
Simply locate cron configuration under administration and configure as shown, now you can connect from any wireless device to find your internet always working as it is supposed to be. Without having a PC to run a software to keep the connection alive. =)
