Roger:
Hello! Thanks for the great debug report. EchoVNC does have
a "sanity check" feature, to see if it can even attempt a connection to
an echoServer before actually trying to connect. As you said, your
wireless clients appear to be failing DNS resolution completely. I'll
check with the developers here to see if there's something we can
do to temporarily "ignore" that error, so that EchoVNC does come
eventually around to reconnect, once DNS is responding.
A possible workaround would be to add an entry for the demo
server in your Windows HOSTS file:
http://vlaurie.com/computers2/Articles/hosts.htm
But...I'm skeptical that EchoVNC could/would make a connection
to the echoServer even with this -- if DNS is failing, I'm not sure any
outgoing connection would work.
Good one. :) More news as I get it...
thanks,
Scott
