Peter, I am sure that your servers may have been working but your ISP links to the outside world were NOT! I find that I link to Orders 6 and Orders 8 in different windows then I can usually remain connected OK. As a general observation requests to Orders 8 often time out for considerable periods or the data fails to come back from the request. Orders 6 is slower in normal times but far more reliable. If Orders 8 fails to respond generally so do Orders x,y,z and all others on the 209.x.x.x address. I have traced the path from my end and the failure always occurs on the last leg from 199.173.167.190 to 209.3.82.22 the Datek Orders8 server. I have posted the details of the trace results a few days ago. My connection is generally made via the west coast via seattle.mci.net through SanFrancisco.mci.net to pacbell.iconnet.net, to ATM4-0-3.nyc02.IConNet.NET to 199.173.167.190 and if I am lucky orders8.datek.com. Orders 6 remains with mci.net all the way from Seattle to New York and is far more reliable and a quicker network connection even though the Orders 6 server itself seems to be slower. Perhaps putting a high speed server on the mci network may help our cause considerably. As it is now the good servers are on the slow connections and the slower servers on the better ones..
