Kaboodle has four "types" of pings:
1. When Kaboodle starts up, if it fails to get a NID from the LAN,
it pings all of the Class-C's it can auto-detect (and it sets
itself as the Master Node).
2. When a new device is "sniffed" and is added to the NID, the
Kaboodle Master Node should ping all of the Class-C subnets
it knows about.
3. When the user hits Refresh in Kaboodle, that Kaboodle instance
should ping all of the Class-C subnets it knows about.
4. Every 5 seconds, the Kaboodle Master Node should ping the
devices known to be in its "active list" to see if they're
still active.
The Kaboodle Master Node handles all of these types. The
non-Master nodes should do *only* #3, the Refresh button pings.

Thanks!

I'm not sure about this. Would it be possible that the
"Connect" button still works, but only Partnerships that are known
to the Master Node can be initiated?

Yup, that's a bug. :)
