Search Again: Re: crashs and timeouts on bad connection From: Men & Mice Support Date: Tuesday, October 8, 2002 Time: 11:17:19 am We've heard vague rumors of this type from time to time, but we've never figured out definitively why this would happen. The only plausible explanation we've come up with (and this is only a guess) relates to Open Transport. On nearly all Macs, if you unplug the Ethernet cable, the network interface is torn down. In the case of classic Mac OS, this means that Open Transport unloads. Something similar may be happening here, when the connection to the Internet gets flaky - this is the part we're guessing about. When Open Transport unloads, QuickDNS gets decidedly unhappy. It often locks up the machine, and at the very least it goes deaf or crashes. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice support@menandmice.com Making DNS Easy At 10:50 AM +0200 10/8/02, Hermann Schaefer wrote: >Hi, >got a QDNS 3.5.x running for several month with little problems. >Since last week, the provider has problems and the line has about >70% packet-loss at the moment.
