Major Network Bug
Happy Agnostica and such. I've got lock up behavior when trying to connect to my Newbie-Borrowed Time MP game.
Mostly irrelevant details:
Dom 2.15 (latest patch)
Connecting via MS Small Business Server to a standard provider
SBS does the usual DNS work instead of just connecting to the home router -- unnecessary but technololgy is fun.
Recently changed the profile on my machine slightly, but had this problem before.
Working on Windows XP.
Problem Description:
This is a transient problem. Sometimes when I try to connect I get the screens for server name and port #. Then it tries to connect and freezes. Every time (perhaps 5, spread over several days) it freezes, I've killed Dom2, restarted, and had it work fine. Mostly, I am able to connect immediately and w/o problems. Today the problem has persisted. The XP taskmanager labes Dom2 as "not responding."
Hope this helps you diagnose it. My (unfounded) hypothesis: the folks I'm trying to access are down and the Dom2 timeout isn't working. I'll ask the server manager on the Newbie-Borrowed Time thread about it and to post here.
