Well, I'm suffering from the constant disconnecting problem. I'm the only one of our group that has the problem and to make matters worse, I get dropped even when using a different machine, so I'm now inclined to think that my problem is related to connectivity problems or my firewall (Netgear FSV318 w/ 1.4 Firmware). Also, sometimes the Auto reconnect works (after a few times) but mostly, it behaves like I disconnected manually. When I disconnect, it can take minutes before it allows me to reconnect
Of an interesting and possibly related note, when I look at "Get Connection Settings" for my screen name, it shows my IP and RPC (?) port number of 18,000 - 20,000 where everyone else in in the 3,000 - 4,000 range.
I can't seem to control this using a registry setting that restricts RPC's to below the 5000 range. (Whoops, WinXP Pro SP1a with a Plantronics USB Headphone. Wireless ISP with T1 speed and low pings to server 8-10ms, because it's at a friend's who uses same ISP. We get 3 Megs between our houses)
Any Thoughts?
