Thanks for help!

Is there some sort of lurk mode for the dnet client? For instance it will upon connection to network automaticly download/flush more blocks and keep its buffers full?

Set Dialup Detection= 2. I think

In the ini file

dialup-watcher=passive

Hmmm I hope it works, I need to know for sure. Someone please verify.

 

[Adul]

what would that go under anyways?

 

[jinsonxu]

Come to think of it, setting

dialup-watcher=active

seems viable too. I'm on cable so i've no experience with this.

Dialup-link detection:

0) Off: the client will send/receive packets only when it needs to do so.
1) Dial-up detection mode: This acts like mode 0, with the addition
that the client will automatically send/receive packets when a
dial-up networking connection is established. Modem users
will probably wish to use this option so that their client
never runs out of packets.
2) Dial-up detection ONLY mode: Like the previous mode, this will cause
the client to automatically send/receive packets when
connected. HOWEVER, if the client runs out of packets,
it will NOT trigger auto-dial, and will instead work
on random RC5 packets until a connection is detected.


option 1 is active
option 2 is passive.

thanks a whole lot jinsonxu. I totaly missed that part. I must need glasses or a vacation.

 

[jinsonxu]

No prob, we live and learn! 😀

 

[Adul]

Yes we do! 🙂

add this under networking in the INI file:
dialup-watcher=active

it should look like this when you are done:
[networking]
autofindkeyserver=no
keyserver=proxy.teamanandtech.com
dialup-watcher=active

 

[Adul]

got it thanks

The active mode causes the client to trigger a dialup connection when the buffers get below a certain point. My guess is that most people wouldn't like a program dialing out on its own. If you use the passive mode with a very large buffer, the client will update whenever the connection is made by the user but won't automatically dial out. That is what I do.

 

[Adul]

I did use passive.

 

[LeBlatt]

I have several cadets with modems in my squadron, and must agree passive is preferred.

 

[narzy]

really? mine works, and it does not automaticly dial out when my buffer is empty, how odd...

 

[Adul]

It depends on the settings with in windows if you allow it or not
