ctimbers1 there are no settings that I know of that would create your problem but the newer versions of LW do drop to 1 connection when Idle. I think some people were having some problems with this feature. I see there is a new beta out 4.9.13 you might want to give it a try and see if it works any better for you the link below will take you there.
