Hello Group, When I get bumped off, I simply close out the internet cluster window, "X" it out and then click on "Window" on the top window and then "New Internet Cluster" and it starts back up again. A re-connect feature would still be nice Hope this helps...

But if the internet connection "blinks", it will not reconnect - I have to reboot dxbase to reconnect. regardss, K8GTQ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bruce Huyck" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Bill Parry'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "'Stephen M.
