G'day Richard and all The problem with having the Venue Client hang is related to people running Unicast bridges behind firewalls.
My understanding is that when the Venue Client first starts, it tries to contact the entire known list of bridges that have been listed with the bridge registry. If a unicast bridge is running behind a firewall, when someone starts their Venue Client, it tries to contact all of the bridges and in turn practically sits there and waits for a response from a "unreachable" bridge, in which waits for a "time out" before proceeding. Therefore, I would kindly suggest that if you are trying to run a AG 3 Unicast bridge and you are aware it is behind a firewall, to stop running it, as it affecting the start up of everyone's Venue Client. This is a know bug and we are currently investigating ways on how to fix it. Cheers, Jason. P.S. If your system appears to hang, which mine is currently doing, wait a while (5 - 10 minutes) and the Venue Client will start. -----Original Message----- From: owner-ag-t...@mcs.anl.gov [mailto:owner-ag-t...@mcs.anl.gov] On Behalf Of Richard Lindstrom Sent: Thursday, 7 September 2006 6:57 AM Cc: ag-t...@mcs.anl.gov Subject: RE: [AG-TECH] Unable to connect or load bridge information.
