[Dx4win] Internet connection

[Erik Hyllander]

Hello everybody,
First thanks to all of you answering my earlier posting about Internet 
connection. The determining factor
came from VE2DC/Mel to another user suggesting there could be a problem 
with a firewall. I had assumed that my normal web-browser had to be active 
and that DX4WIN used that path. OK, I had read the help-file and it is not 
mentioned anything about web-browsers so.....

Anyhow, checking my ZONE-alarm I found that DX4WIN was waiting for approval 
to connect. Once cleared I
got the info from OH2AQ's DX-cluster to the upper part of the Packet 
window. But nothing in the DX spots window. Checking the help-file again 
and checking Preference/Packet2 I saw that pattern no 3 was missing.
Instead there was this line 'DX>f>c>q' which apparently came from v 5.03 
and earlier versions. When this was changed to the html line info was fed 
to the DX spot window.

I have noticed that if the cluster address finishes with .html no reload 
takes place. If it ends with .html?|3 it reloads after three minutes even 
if the cluster at normal web-browser contact reloads every minute.

Another observation is that all spots from internet are lost after exit 
from DX4WIN. When I use my "normal" set-up to the local DC-cluster via 144 
MHz spots remain.
Again thank you!
Erik
