I have a PC running Windows XP Service Pack 3 with DX Base 2007. I have used to connect to our club's cluster without failure for three years now. We had a "keep alive" function activated on our cluster that prevented connection drops. My connection has only dropped when there was a problem with my internet service. It sounds doubtful that it is a DX Base problem, at least on my end.... Bruce KS4V

Another will let me go for the better part of a week. I am computer illiterate but this seems to point to something on the other end.

I used to see my DXSpider node drop it's connections like this when I had it running under Windows 2000, but my connections have been rock-solid since I switched to the Linux operating system a couple of years ago. My Windows PC (which I have DXB running on) continues to momentarily lose connectivity in the manner described. I should check to see what happens if I connect to the node from the Windows PC without going out over the internet, but I'm lazy. For what it's worth, I've used VE7CC's AR-User for years. I first began using it as a work-around to the dropped connection problem (it has an automatic reconnect feature), but it has such a nice user interface (for configuring filters and stuff) that I'd use it even with a rock-solid connection. 73, Steve N8NM ______________________________________________________________ Dxbase mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dxbase Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] ______________________________________________________________ Dxbase mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dxbase Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] ______________________________________________________________ Dxbase mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dxbase Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected]
