How can I stop my wireless internet connection from asking me if I want to stay connected? I always want to be connected and want to tell it that

Yes I have my Airport Extreme base station connection via ethernet to my ADSL modem. When using my iMac with wireless internet connection, every 10 minutes or so I get a popup asking me whether or not I would like to stay connected - really annoying!

Mine does the same thing, but every 30 min. I don't know where to shut it off. I seem to recall when setting up my Airport Extreme there was a prompt about this but I'm certain I selected "Never" on the amount of time to disconnect so I'm stumped as to where to turn this off. I can live with it but if it happened every 10 min that would drive me crazy.

OK so I figured this out!

In System Preferences go to Network then PPPoE then PPPoE Options. Uncheck the "Prompt every 30 mins to maintain connetion"
