Server Problems (plz help)

[Demonwing]

OK....here is the deal. I ran a TS server form my home pc. H/E whenever i leave it unattended for some reason it shuts down. Meaning if i come back and go stop it from the localhost and restarted it , it works again. But if I just simply leave it, so that my friends can use it for their games, it goes offline somehow. I am runing it through a router, butt i know that it works, because when i am on my server my friends can also join and talk.

Can anyone help me and give me a thought about what might be the issue here?

Thank You for your consern.

I don't know anything but, i would go and check your power settings, cause maybe when your computer goes on standby or if the harddisks shut off it causes the server to stop.
I have no idea... ...just a thought...

Your ISP may have idle time outs, or your router is not set to keep the connection alive.
