Hello Experts,

This may not be such an advances .NET topics, but I don't have any other
place where to ask my silly question. I apologies in advance.
One of the components in our system displays dynamic information through a
web page on an unmanned display (much like the arrival/departure times and
flight status displayed in airports).

Web development is not my area of expertise, but it's hard to swallow the
explanation I was presented by the developer that did the page.
Bottom line, the page refreshes itself every 2 seconds, to update almost
real time the information it must display. However, if the network goes down
for a very short period of time, the page cannot connect to the server and
Error 401 is presented (actually would have been, except it was replaced
with a blank page). The only way to solve this (suggested by the said
developer) is to remotely connect to the desktop and refresh the link
manually.

Is there another way to do this in an automatic fashion? I think ideally
would be to leave the display untouched as long as the network is down and
refresh the content of the page as soon as the network comes back on-line.
The page is displayed with Internet Explorer, so there is not much control I
have over the logic that controls the error handling.

Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Regards,
Eddie
