I received my new Mac mini, set it up, and everything worked fine. I only have one problem. About every 15 minutes or so, I get a message displayed from "Internet Connect" that states I am still connected to the internet. I then have to click on "stay connected" before I can continue with what I am doing. It is annoying. I looked in system preferences, "Internet and Network" and could find no place to disable this message. My "dumb" question is: How do I disable this message?
Got a tip for us?

You're nearly there 
In System Preferences>Network>Internal Modem>Configure, there should be a button saying PPP Options. If you hit that then you should see an option to have a warning to maintain connection. De-check that box and you should be rid of the annoying messages.

My system preferences does not show a Internal Modem option. (The new minis do not have internal modems.)Kernow said:You're nearly there

what he said, only look for INTERNET CONNECT (in the apps folder) and find the PPP settings. I think that should work.
Sounds like you have DSL?

I fixed it. I found the message in PPPoE options - finally. Thanks to everyone for their help.Sdashiki said:
