Any way to make second comp disconnect dial-up on ICS?

I am running a home network with 2 10/100 nics and a switch. Both machines are using Windows Me and ICS. I have the box checked in the Dial-up networking properties that says "Disconnect when app that started connection is closed" but when a connection is started with the computer that does not have the modem, it will not disconnect when done using the connection, making that person run all the way down stairs to disconnect the dial-up from the "host" computer. This is a pain in the butt and involves making the downstairs monitor wake up ,using energy and wear and tear on my 19" FD Trinitron! I can't get DSL until late 4th quarter here and don't like the local cable deal. Any Help?!:frown:
 
Here is what I do, and it works for me.
Find [Stay Live 2000]. It is a free download on quite a few sites I think I got mine from C Net. On the machine with the internet access set the disconnect time to 1 minute, I think this is the minimum that you can set it to. I then dial up using the Stay Live icon and then kick up the browser. When you want to disconnect just exit [stay live]in about 30 seconds to a minute it will disconnect
If you need more info PM me.
