I didn't time it, I just guessed. I must be totally spoiled rotten by my other servers since I don't have to mess w/this reconnection thing on them. I realize I'm not dealing with this problem well, you all seem to think it's normal. Well, when you don't have this happening on any of your connections and then suddenly it does, so you try the fixes that worked on the two other servers that this happened on in the past and the fixes did work ... and they don't now ... and nothing else you try cures the ailment ... this is where I'm at. I don't understand how you all can believe this is normal since apparently you all just do it and it doesn't bother you. You all don't understand that I'm *not* used to this and that I feel there's something wrong since it wasn't happening on this server before and now it is and the fixes don't work. >When all I had was an expensive 56K dialup connection that dropped after any >inactivity, I just made sure I could test everything locally by running a >Web server on my PC so that I only needed to upload stuff once when it was >tested and I was happy with it... maybe you should go that route if the >disconnecting bothers you so much?

Is that correct? I tried putting a local server on my computer probably a couple years ago and all it did was mess up my computer and I never did get it to work. I don't feel I have enough server smarts to work one of these. But thanks for the idea. One question, do your pages look the same on your local server as they do on the real server when they're done?
