[Ham-Mac] AR-Cluster Drop Outs (Solved)

[David Anderson GM4JJJ]

On my Netgear DG834G ADSL router the idle timeout is zero (by  
default) and I have no problems.

Generally zero means that the connection stays alive:

 From the help files:

Idle Timeout

An idle Internet connection will be terminated after this time period.

If this value is zero (0), then the connection will be "kept alive"  
by re-connecting immediately whenever the connection is lost.
