I have one of the latest cvs clients running on 2 machines, both with Mandrake 9.0. One is connected to a LAN and through a firewall to the internet, the other is on an ADSL connection (Ethernet card to an ADSL router).
The one on the LAN runs the client without problems; the one on ADSL will run for a while and then suddenly hang, waiting for a reply from the server. This always happens when it is inconvenient, of course, and it isn't enough to close the client, I have to reboot - if I just close the client and open it again, I can't log in; the server says 'that name is already in use'.
I have evidently tried to get more diagnostics, but apparently I have to go and actually debug the program to see what goes on. My network connection is fine - all other networking programs work fine, and the server is OK too, since I can connect with another character. Before I go off and do horrible things to the client source, are there any suggestions?
(I have one, BTW: Instead of simply rejecting a new logon attempt with this char, let the user give password, then warning: 'You are already logged on. If you proceed, that char will be pushed off and you will be back in [last bed to reality]' - I'll post this on 'Suggestions' too)
