Ready Nas should do smthing in the Internet every 15 min...

Hi,

hope i am in the right subforum here...

Problem: My internet Provider disconnects the DSL after 20 Min IDLE now, which results that i cannot reach my NAS not any more from the outside.

Question: Is there an simple way to let the nas do something in the internet every 15 minutes? Like a Ping, or downloading an RSS Feed or something else?

I am thankful for every hint you can give...

  • One solution is router/modem with "Keep connection alive" option.
    Second is make a simple script to ping anything and add it to cron.
  • My Internet Provider disabled the keep connection alive by an forced update...

    Puh, i don´t really know how to set up an cronjob on my nas... is there an manual for that?

    Time to change ISP? I wouldn't stay on an ISP that closes the internet connection after 15 minutes of inactivity.
  • Mhm, seed a Torrent sounds interesting...

    Cannot change my ISP where i live it, theres only one provider on the countriside where i live :(
