[Dxbase] Internet Packet Disconnects

[Eric W4DXX]

I use AR-USER V3.0241 interface to VE7CC and AE5E as a dual connect.  It 
assigns different client identifiers (W4DXX-1, W4DXX-2, etc) to each 
connection so the call doesn’t show up as identical to two different nodes. 
DxBase then connects to it using the local port 127.0.0.1.  The "Keep Alive" 
in Dxbase is set at default of 15 mins.  I almost never lose connection 
unless something happens on the nodes end or the WAN internet connection 
itself.

One other important thing, make sure in Device Manager that your Network 
Adapter's Power Management is NOT set to go to sleep to save power.  I think 
most Windows installations actually turn this ON, so you have to turn it 
off.  This depends on your power management scheme that is selected but make 
sure you turn it OFF, and, if you change schemes, like on a laptop, check it 
to make sure it is OFF in each scheme you use DxBase with.   Just a FYI....

Our club supports the W4NJA node.  I have used it and Debase for years with 
no problems.BruceKS4V

I'm finding that after a while my Internet Packet windows is losing it's
connection and I have to restart it. The Keep Alive timer is set for 15
min. I've shortened that to 10 min, but I'm not convinced that's the
problem I'm seeing. When this happens, I simply see lines of "Keep Alive
Sent" (or something like that). If I check the connection with a SH/DX,
nothing happens, so I know the connection is no longer active.  This has
happened from time to time in the past, but it's getting more frequent
and annoying. What else might I set on my end to keep the connection
from being dropped or simply becoming what amounts to dormant? I've been
using the W4NJA node, so I suppose it's also possible the problem is on
that end,  someplace.
