This is odd. I really can't think of a reason why channel 3 would be any different than other channels with the exception of the port number (each channel uses a different TCP/IP port to communicate with other components). It's possible that the port used by channel 3 is also used by another application on your server. I think that possibility is unlikely because the channel starts fine when FoxWeb is restarted. If the port was being used by another application, then the channel wouldn't start in the first place.
In case you want to try changing the port, you can do so by modifying the following registry entry:
\\hkey_local_machine\software\Aegis Group\FoxWeb\CurrentVersion\Channels\Port1
From what I remember, you only need to change Port1. Other channels use sequentially higher ports. For example, if Port1 is set to 15823, channel 2 will use port 15824, channel 3 will use 15825 and so forth.

Sorry also forgot to mention that out of the 6 channels, channel 3 is missing and has been missing for the last week (has not auto-restarted). It returns on a foxweb stop then start, but if we lose a channel it always seems to be channel 3. I have cheked the server and there are 5 vfp7.exe files running and 1 FWStart.exe, so why is channel 3 not restarting it does not appear to be locked.
