Loss of dmx

I'm currently running a show using the Hog3pc system (1 PC, 1 widget, 1 playbackwing and 1 progwing).

During the last show I ran into a very confusing problem. Suddenly all conventionel lights drops to zero (for about ½sec). Having no clue why? After a few minutes this happens again, although this time I spoted the widget during the blackout, and I saw that the two diods active and dmx OK were out but they came back as the lights went up again (I truly suspect a connection between the diods and the blackout:p )

Hence the link doid all the time indicated connection between the widget and my comuter (the widget is directly plugged in my computer) I'm clueless whats the fuzz is about! :1zhelp:

    what happens is i have a FOH cable 100mt then if i go into the dimmer rack 6 x jands hp12's it works fine, if i terminat the last dimmer it makes te lights do random things eg: strobe
    the terminator is on board the dimmer.
    this set up only happens when i dont bring the splitter.
    most of the time i have the splitter after the FOH cable then splitting into the dimmers. this only happens with the hog ipc.
    even in other setups if i run a terminator, ether onboard or a resister type, and no splitter it messes with the data even if the cable runs are short.
