Any termination happening it is most likely to be from DG It took me a little while to track it down, but you were right. DG was closing the connection after two minutes, causing squid/browser to close. This was forcing the prompt. I changed to configuration in DG (hard coded) and the two minute disconnection has stopped. I left squid at the default, and so far things are better. Thanks so much. You've all helped me figure out the source of this, by eliminating, and explaining, what squid is doing.
