Most of the shit on those ships deserves to rot out there on the seas. It's mostly cheap plastic and pot steel trinkets, power tools and the like that aren't worth the diesel that was burned to get them here. Once proud firms like Delta and Sony now are all made in China, Malaysia, Korea...

AllenZ - Lurking this thread; enjoying your posts.

Def - Are you saying that this will be an ongoing problem like the last set of disconnects from several months ago? If I recall it was several days of upgrades and other hardware changes that caused outages left and right. Please be straight with us as I won't enter any trades until this...

I got logged off before I could enter a drop-dead stop on 1 of my positions and lost 2400. Damnit to hell; this will take me a week to recover less than 20 minutes worth of losses. Furthermore I closed it out on the phone and it still shows up in the pending tab. WTF ??:mad:

arzoo -are you running the latest Java 1.4.x ? IB's latest builds require it over 1.3.x

Opera's a great browser but it has 2 critical flaws. 1 is the lack of a password manager and 2 is that it fails to display several types of page elements correctly. Browse over to nasdaq.com for an example. Other than that Opera's superb.

Let's send Ted Kennedy. All he has to do is breathe on them and it will be no match for their mustard gas, Sarin, Vx, etc.

Look at the brand of network card. IB has an approved list. This problem is legendary with IB and network cards.

Out completely since the bell. DAMNIT

It's been pretty good of late - until today. Datek seemed to have problems almost every week

do a tracert and see if there's a specific location that has gone bad.
