I'm told we have seen a frequent problem with Dell's using an integrated network card. If this is the card that came with the Dell, then it's probably an integrated network card. Try another network card type and see if that doesn't solve the problem. Steve Grunberg IQFeed Developer Support DTN Market Access

Steve: Do you have any further info on the cause of these dropouts? Does the Dell have a known problem or is it just circumstantial evidence? I am using an HP with an Intel PRO/1000 MT. I could switch to the onboard 82540EM port.

We discovered this internally by accident. As for your small problem with the HP: Give it a try and let us know what happens. Steve Grunberg IQFeed Developer Support DTN Market Access
