Ron et al: I have the Linksys Router and a wireless hi-speed inet connection. Latest firmware. Running XP on a AMD 1.7mHz machine. IF the cluster is busy, with spots coming in frequently like on weekends or contests, then I do not loose connection. But like these past few days, with only occasional spots due to the poor prop, then I seem to stall out. It's at this time that while there is no indication on the screen that the inet connection has failed, attempts to do a sh/wwv (example) will have no response.
Doing a ctr/alt/del to bring up the Task Manager/Processes will show that DXB is now hogging 95+% of the cpu to the exclusion of any other programs running. Now this doesn't matter how many other programs are running or what kind. Doesn't matter what node I choose or it's locality. I do have the timer set and set to 5 min. intervals. So far I can't cause the shutdown nor have I found a way to prevent it. What I do is use the local vhf cluster during these dogdays of activity such as poor band condx. or Mondays following a major contest :-). ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ron Stordahl" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Tony Cash" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Ron Stordahl" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Al Bailey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, October 06, 2002 11:22 PM Subject: Re: [DXBase] Internet connectivity problem.. > Tony..do you run the 10 minute keep alive timer in DXBase?
