On the general tab of the config screen do you have the CH0 mode set to system?

Under that it should be set for "System", not user.

I'm not sure this is your problem ( probably not)but the only difference from what you posted above and the processors default settings is the "embedded responce" the default is "Auto Detect"
What happens when you go back to RSLinx after you loose comm and click auto configure? Does it reconnect?

Post your .RSS file, the one you downloaded ( zip it first) someone can take a look and maybe find something.

What do you do to try again? Pull battery?

I don't see anything that would cause the comm settings to be inaccessible after a download. Perhaps the baud rate is changed by the download? Have you tried to use the DF1 autoconfigure option in RSLinx after downloading to see if you can detect it?
