Dave i had a similar problem only to find that the router cuts off the connection after 5 minutes of idle. Using the Wizard to set up the Router did not show this timer. My router is a Belkin F5D7630 with wireless but I am using the lan for this operation.
After changing the value to 10 minutes and incorporating a 5 minute Keep Alive timer in DxBase I now do not have so many problems. However I have now incorporated the VE7CC program on the recommendation of Jim McDonald and this re-connects the Internet automatically should it drop out (Something that Jack is not able to do as yet). This now gives me an almost seamless operation. Hope this helps Dave (G3SBP) At 23:33 14/02/2005 +0000, you wrote: >Im using dxbase on a network thru a router to a cable modem and the >machine it runs on is the second computer on my network.
