Server reconnect
Last modified: 2009-09-08 09:28:23 UTC
I turn my SlimServer PC off every night. Every morning, I start it up and my SB is showing "lost connection to the server". It won't reconnect. If I do a soft reboot on the SB then it connects fine. It seems that the SB stops trying to reconnect after an amount of time.
do you use DHCP for assigning IP addresses on your network? Could it be that the lease is short enough that the PC reboots in the morning and gets a different IP?
Nope - all IP addresses remain the same.
Please try the latest nightly release and let us know if this problem remains.
Tried latest release with V38 firmware. Same problem! I also just checked wheter after turning on my PC, I could ping the SB and it's not pingable. The PC IP number is the same. After rebooting the SB, I can ping it fine. It seems that after a certain amount of time not being able to reconnect, it looses interest and even the SB Network card drops the IP connection and it doesn't try to reconnect?
I still have this problem. I am now on V40 for Firmware and latest build. The SBG gives up retrying after several hours of the SS being off. Pressing & holding the red off button reboots it OK.
I have now changed my AP to a netgear and this issue has gone away.
