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!
