Re: Does vista have a security feature i don't know about for routers and modems

The router should be sufficient to keep the connection alive - basically you have 2 connections to 2 networks and the router is the middle man. A bit like making a phone call to someone on a different dialling code to you. You need to dial the code to get through...

Which make and model router are you using? Is the modem connected directly to the router by Ethernet, or is the modem connected to a PC by USB and then the PC connected to the router by Ethernet? That would cause it to disconnect as the PC is switched off, because the PC gets its IP directly from VM by DHCP (whereas the router would do this).

It would also help if you posted using punctuated sentences as opposed to just writing in one long sentence, as it is easier for us to understand your post so we don't make any mistakes or dismiss it as we can't see what you're trying to say.
