:-D Hey Bighomedog,
When you and the guys went through your fix, you got all fixed up with one anti-virus, one firewall, and anti spyware software right? I'd have to find and read the entire thread, so I'm hoping you know.
Are you completely updated? Go to
Windows Update to make sure.
Do you get an error message? Do the chat sessions just stop? What exactly happens when you "lose connection?"
Look forward to your reply,
TTFN
