[help] keeping laptop session running when lid is closed

Whenever I'm online (DSL) and I close my laptop over, it disconnects me from the internet and takes me to the user accounts screen. My friends laptop keeps her session running, so why doesn't mine - I cant find options to change this (Probably because I don't quite know where to look) so what do I do? It's annoying the hell out of me, because it would be so nice to close it over when I leave the room and not have to log in and re-connect to DSL.
