Okay, I'm going on vacation next week and i installed something called LogMeIn on my PC. It's just like go to my pc, only FREE. I want to connect to my computer from the one at my vactation with it, but my computer's internet needs to be on for that to happen. The problem is, for some reason my computer and my brother's computer's internet automatically stops working unless there is activity on the PC. And I'm not going to be on the vacation PC all the time, so the interent mightm go off, and I won't be able to use my computer. What should I do, I think it might be a my router or modem, but I don't know. So PLEASE HELP!
Internet AutoShutoff
In your router settings, make sure you have this setting set, and its NOT set to Connect on Demand.
(I blacked out a few sensitive fields in the image)
You can usually access the router settings by going to http://192.168.1.1/ with the password of "admin".

I don't have the same setup page as you. Mine looks like this:
There are programs, which send "keep alive packages". Just a few bits.
Then your connection won't close. Search google for them. Those are mostly used by persons, who have an own webserver on their machine.

There may be a setting in your router to keep the cxonnection alive, go through the different screens in your router config to check.
It is most likely your ISP that is doing this. Many ISP's that run PPPoE connections will auto-disconnect any idle users to save themselves bandwidth.
