Geez, I thought I was the only one losing his TWS connection. Almost happens on a daily basis once or twice a day for 1-2 minutes each time. My other software works beautifully as TWS freaks out...
Yes, thats true. I can say this, because I use TWS regularly from two locations. One is at the office, behind a firewall, with a lousy connection and that is where TWS disconnects/reconnects about every 20 minutes. The other connection is a good one via DSL from home. I can't remember when TWS needed to disconnect/reconnect there.
I also use a cable connection and almost never lose my connection. I always have a stop in anyway in case a connection does fail or major shit hits the wires. Jay
RE> jester, pass your friend the link to the dslreports I posted earlier. I tweaked my home PC connection and the difference was night and day Def, I know your one of the "good guys" here on ET unfortunately he is so disappointed/ angry over the repeated disconnections w/ IB being down he's already chosen to go to our firms platform which is, (his words not mine) "a lot more robust". Thank you for the help I showed him what you posted. J -
Count me in with the cable modem guys who don't usually get disconnected. Yesterday I did, along with everything else as my cable hiccuped, but that was hardly TWSs fault.
With Windows 2000 I had only occasional disconects. After I switched toXP Home. It becase almost daily. Anybody else have problems with XP Home?
I switched back to Win2K for that same reason.. and things are better. (some Java problem.. i am not a Tech guru, wouldn't know how to explain it. But the problem is gone as soon as i turned back to Win2k.)
