Smart SDR Losing Connection - v3.1.8

This is a new problem for me, since I installed V.3.1.8      Rig is a 6700.

I never had an issue with 3.1.7 or other previous versions,  however, if I leave my PC untended for a while (ie. an hour), my Smart SDR loses connection, closes, and the front panel power button does not respond, requiring I cut power to the radio to be able to start over again.

No, I don't have an issue with Windows power saver settings.. I always leave everything on, all the time.

Anyone else having a new issue like this with V3.1.8     This did not happen to me with v3.1.7 or others.


And NO... I'm not complaining... just hoping to ID a fix.  These last few versions have been great, and have installed without issue, so I am a very happy Flex user.

    Bill,
    RR..

    PC is running Windows 10 with all the current updates.  PC is connected to my router wirelessly (I prefer to isolate my PC for lightning events).    The PC has an i7 4790, and 16GB of RAM. 

     The Flex 6700 is connected to my Router via a 24 Port Gigabyte Switch.  

    Good idea to check the event viewer... but I don't really know what I'm looking for there.

    Recently had some issues with SSDR disconnecting, my setup is I7 4790K wireless connected to my router. The router supplies DHCP serves thru a bridge connection [Ethernet to WiFi] in the PC between the router and the radio. That's where my problem existed. Since configuring the radio and PC with Static IP addresses my problems have vanished. Even though the IP lease parameter was as big as possible there was a chance the lease was renewed since my PC runs 24X7 for weeks on end. Believe a renew of the lease was causing an interruption between the radio and PC.
