Kim,
This has been a "bug" in DXBase for years; the one sure fix is to download  
VE7CC  www.bcdxc.org/ve7cc/Ver3/V3Help.htm   Get that up and running and then 
connect DXBase to it.
Once you have it up and running, in the Config tab, go to Ports/logging 
program.  Set the node to Telnet. In the top middle, check "Enable Telnet".  In 
"data sent to logging program, I have all checkedbut two of them  (DX Tab 
format for live spots and DX Orginators QTH.  Also have the Dat sent to cluster 
checked to Ignore BYE from loging program.  Make sure you fill in user 
information (just leave Usual
DX Cluster blank (you are using VE7CC-1)..
IN DXBase in the Internet window, set IP Host to 127.0.0.1:7300#localhost CC 
User    That should be in the list of hosts,  just scowl down to it.  In the 
interface block in the same window, I haveConnect Interface at program startup 
checkied, and keep alive timer checked and set to 15 mins.  Other checks are up 
to you.
Never had a disconnect since I started using it.
Good luck,
Dick, K8ZTT

 I'm finding that after a while my Internet Packet windows is losing it's 
connection and I have to restart it. The Keep Alive timer is set for 15 
min. I've shortened that to 10 min, but I'm not convinced that's the 
problem I'm seeing. When this happens, I simply see lines of "Keep Alive 
Sent" (or something like that). If I check the connection with a SH/DX, 
nothing happens, so I know the connection is no longer active.  This has 
happened from time to time in the past, but it's getting more frequent 
and annoying. What else might I set on my end to keep the connection 
from being dropped or simply becoming what amounts to dormant? I've been 
using the W4NJA node, so I suppose it's also possible the problem is on 
that end,  someplace.

MX & HNY,

Kim N5OP
