[WriteLog] Need Help with Networking "Lost connection to ..."

[k6ufo at arrl.net]

Thanks everyone for all the good suggestions.

A popular suggestion, and the one that worked, was 
to uninstall and fully reinstall Writelog. I also took 
the opportunity to get the latest Full Install package 
so I didn't have to go through multiple upgrades. After 
the fresh install on both computers, it started working!

Many thanks for all your help.
