[Dxbase] DXBase 2006 - staying connected to DSL

Sat Jan 7 13:16:19 EST 2006

Tnx for all the feedback. Appreciate all the mails I received on this
subject. I didn't respond till today cause I was trying some of the ideas to
see what would happen.
Yesterday morning I went into the setup screen on the Netgear router. I went
to the "Port forwarding/port triggering page". UPnP was checked ON. The
advertisement period was 30 minutes. I changed it to 10 minutes. After that
I stayed connected. I setup one PC connected to one site through DXTelnet
and another PC on the network running DXBase 2006 connected to another
internet cluster site.
I stayed connected on both PC's all day and night. This morning, about 5
hours ago, both PC's got disconnected from their respective cluster sites.
No one was here so no idea what happened.
I reconnected both PC's. For the past 5 hours things seem fine. Maybe
changing the time from 30 minute to 10 minutes had an impact? Maybe it
should be a different time?
I just checked the "Router Status" page. I went to the "Show statistics"
page. The "System Up Time" shows 2 days 19 minutes. The "Connect Status"
shows 5 hours 51 minutes. Not sure what happened with the "Connect Status".
The time coincides with when I reconnected. So no idea what disconnected
both internet clusters.
Any more ideas? All input is welcomed.
N2TK, Tony
