Win2K Dial Up Failure, on reconnect Pan does not automatically restart tasks
Last modified: 2006-10-18 18:21:32 UTC
Please describe the problem: When dialup fails, and automatically reconnects on Win2K, Pan does not automatically restart tasks. I noted the behavior in both Pan versions 0.115, and 0.116. Automatic reconnection, and restarting of tasks works in Pan version 0.14.2. The behavior is reproducible by manually disconnecting the dialup modem, and then reconnecting. In version 0.14.2 it appears that Pan would log a socket error, on a modem disconnect, and then continually check the network interface until reconnected, then Pan would reconnect to the news server and restart the queued tasks. Versions 0.115, and 0.116, both report a socket error, but no other messages. Steps to reproduce: 1. Disconnect the Modem Connection in Win2K 2. Redial, and reconnect 3. Actual results: Pan fails to automatically restart tasks Expected results: Pan would automatically detect the network interface as being back online, reconnect to the newsserver, and restart the queued tasks Does this happen every time? Yes Other information:
