[ggo-discussion] Re: big old and forgotten bug

Hello All:

- I had a very similar problem a while ago. Peter gave some suggestions that 
I think are the ultimate cause. I happened to upgrade to Service Pack 2 at 
roughly the same time I started occasionally using AOL instant messenger. 
According to Peter, SP2 has limits on outgoing internet connections. I 
believe AIM likes to take up a bunch. When I stopped using AIM at the same 
time as glGo the problem ceased. Perhaps you are running some other 
applications that would also be connected to the internet? I am sure Peter 
can expand.

- Yes, I had the same problem with reloading to an earlier point than 
listed. Until that is fixed, completely exiting the application and then 
reopening it should fix that as well.

- It does bring up another thought though. I really wish that when a 
disconnect did occur, there was more explicit notice from glGo than just a 
line in the telnet window.

Your program is always getting better Peter. Thank you from all the go users 
out there!

Best Regards,

Kevin Purvis
