AGH! MY internet is stupid!
Everytime I get online, after about 5 mintues after im on, i get booted off. It has to dial up again! Does anybody know why my computer is being stupid about the internet? We get it free, by the way, because my mom works for WMU and they let her have free internet, but it's a sucky internet. Could somebody please help?!

Dial up is very slow and unreliable in my opinion to deal with. It may be free but if it's not allowing you to go online its useless. You should tell your mother what is happening and have her speak with her boss or It person at work to come take a look at your situation and see why it keeps bucking you off the Internet before doing anything else.
What you really need though is high-speed Internet access preferably over the phone or through your cable company. Plans are usually in the 29.95 range to 43.50 depending on what you would need. you also ge betweent 7-11 e-mail addresses with it, virus protection and other security features.
I recommend you try looking into Verizon, your local cable company and other options with your mother as you need reliable access especially for projects and school not just socializing and the speed and strength of the connection is so much stronger and reliable than 56 K dial up.
You should offer if you have a job to pay part or all of the monthly fee and talk to your mother about it as free doesn't always mean good. These Internet services often give the first 3 months free anyhow. You cannot go wrong.
If in Canada don't purchase your account through the cable companies as they are all unreliable and plagued with problems galore. Sympatico is known as the best in Canada and no, I don't have any connection with them. I'm just a satisfied customer.
