An FYI for everyone: Larry Strasser suggested I set the "Keep Alive"
timer to 3 min instead of the default 15 min. During a period of about 5
h using the 15 min interval, I had three disconnects. Around 4 PM I set
the keep alive timer to 3 min and let everything run overnight
(something I never do). DXBase has remained connected to the the
Internet Cluster I've been using (W4NJA) overnight and is still active.

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
checked
but 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 have
Connect 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nothing happens, so I know the connection is no longer active.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.
