Appears I lost my IQ feed today around 10:05 PST (1:05 EST). Doesn't appear to be related to internet connectivity (at least my side) since I continued to receive quotes via InteractiveBrokers data feed.

My question - is there a recommended method of determining that data feed has gone down and is there a recommended method to re-establish, short or terminating the program and restarting?

Well, I retract my "at least my side" comment. Turns out I needed a firmware upgrade for my Linksys BEFSX41 router/firewall to fix a couple of situations which cause the router to reboot. Anyone using the same should be sure to update firmware.

But I'm still interested in suggestion on best way to programatically detect & re-establish lost connection to IQ feed servers. Any suggestions?

Did you read the thread titled "How to fugure out current connection status ?" yet?
