I checked my hosts file and other than dxcluster
entries added by dxbase I found nothing else.
However, there is a mixture of DX clusters which
use standard (port 23) and some non-standard port
such as 7300 etc.
Those dxcluster entries using a standard port 23
have no port designation - which is quite common.
Default port 23 is assumed by dxbase telnet client
when the connection is attempted.
DX cluster I connect to happens to use default
port 23. I have added port 23 to the hostname
which is something like - /someurl.com:23/ and my
dxbase hasn't crashed yet.
I hope this fixes it, but time will tell.

For what it is worth, I had a similar problem that would shut down DXBase
2006 when I tried to connect to an internet telnet connection. What I found
was two things. Discover was running on my PC which I never installed and I
removed it. That cured the problem. I later found hundreds of URL's in my
Hosts files that were placed there by SpyBot Search and Destroy.
I had trouble removing those URL's and to date I had to rename the Hosts
folder that they were in as I could not delete the folder. I have not had
that trouble since. I could not make any sense of all this but you might.

Nick,
I've never heard of anything like this in the past. I do not know what
application is generating the error you mention but I don't think it
comes
from anything in DXbase. Since it is intermittant, it leads me to think
it is something on your machine such as maybe memory corruption or
shortage, or video driver issue, maybe an XP file corruption associated
with serial port communications... the list is endless. I guess all you
can do is try to diagnose your machine and the applications you have
installed.

When I connect to DX Cluster via telnet by selecting "New Internet
Cluster" from the Window toolbar menu, I get "Error 157" in a small
pop-up window. Dxbase then crashes.
This happens on average one in ten times.
Anyone saw this before?
