Hey,
I'm using an old iPaq as sort of a poor-mans NAS (yeah, I know).

Problem is, the wifi adapter goes to sleep after maybe an hour or so of inactivity.

Can anyone think of a utility that will run on a wm2003 device and connect to something on the internet automatically, on a regular basis?

I was thinking like, get a weather applet or something, but none that I found would connect automatically.

It doesn't have to be anything special. As long as it is actively using the internet on a regular basis. That'll keep the router from disconnecting.

How about pointing IE at a web page that uses javascript to automatically reload itself?
