Oh, oops, I left Kevin's signature line on my reply... didn't CUT enough in cut and paste.
Don't want you to think I'm trying to be a forger or worse...
In any case, I'd still like to know if someone knows more about this issue than the little bit of help I offered.

And the text I sent is below....

When I connect to the site and get to work, at some point I go too long
without doing anything, and the connection gets dropped... Dreamweaver
seems to handle it very badly. It appears to go into psychotic breakdown....

I've been plagued by this problem as well.
Three things MIGHT help, but I'll tune in with interest to find out if someone has a BETTER solution.

1. When my connection starts timing out, I bring the site window up again, and click on the little red "stop" button on the bottom right corner. That way I can go right back to work. Better yet, if I remember to disconnect after upload, I save myself some headaches.

2. I recall that I can change the amount of time until a timeout on my and in the site preferences. Unfortunately, my ISP has another idea of the timeout, and it's a very short window. I have learned to upload only a few files at a time because of that.

3. We also had problems with the "psychotic breakdown" feature (although I'd be more inclined to call it catatonic) but at any rate, we checked the ISP's "help" section, and we had to change our preferences to (or from) "passive FTP" and that resolved some of the catatonia issues too.

FWIW
