Hi All!  Go figure!  The last changes that
I had said I made must have worked!  I had
the router address included in the range
of addresses in the LAN portion of my
router setup.  It is the only significant
change that I have made that kept my
connection alive.  Once I set the range
from ..0.100 to 254 (instead of ..0.1 to 254)
I have stayed connected.

Thank you all very, very much for all your
input.  I have learned more from this
experience AND from reading through all
the posts on this site than I ever learn
in a week at work!
