WIN7 Laptop using Eternal-September as my UseNet server.
Normally, when I want to connect to the Internet via my 3G USB Dongle, I
click the W7 Wireless Broadband connection thingee and, when the
connection is made, I update my AVG Anti-Virus then start up SM which
brings up the (as selected) M & N and Chatzilla screens. Whilst my
e-mails are downloading, I start the SM Browser.
Then, after dealing with my e-mails, I open this Mozilla server account,
read the posts there, then open my E-S UseNet server and read posts there.
Semi-regularly, the connection to the outside world will cease to
function. This might be once in a couple of weeks or it might be three
times in one evening!! And, as I spend most of my Internet time reading
posts on E-S, it's usually (always??) whilst I'm connected to E-S when
these outages occurs.
When this failure to respond occurs, I can check my Browser screen and
often find a Weather site (which updates every five minutes or so) has
stopped responding and the two IRC Servers I connect to in Chatzilla
might also have timed me out!
Usually, un-plugging my Dongle, re-plugging and re-making the Internet
connection gets me straight back on-line.
I've just been reading one of the E-S support groups on my E-S UseNet
server and someone there mentioned their NNTP account timing out whilst
fetching a post, i.e. the response time being very long.
This rung a bell with me ... Could it just be the very, very, slow
response from the E-S server that is causing my problem?? Could this be
the reason I'm also losing my Browser and IRC connections?
And if so, how do I lengthen the time-out setting for the UseNet
server/SeaMonkey??
