Network issue

Submitted by greenamex2 on #1

Hi

I am running the latest version on an early Raspberry PI and keep getting the following messages -

22:26:25 INFO :In file ../src/msw/window.cpp at line 577: 'SetFocus' failed with error 0x00000057 (the parameter is incorrect.).
22:25:47 INFO :Connection 1 sending msg size didnt complete due to error 10060,
22:26:11 INFO :Server ping timeout, shutting down connection 1...

My config.ini is as follows -

It=1444510249
PingInterval=4 (added manually)
PingTimeout=9 (added manually)
UseAVAHI=0 (added manually)

Note that when I am running a ping -t to the server I don't get a single dropout.

Any ideas?

Thanks

10060 is connection timeout, the virtualhere client has tried for 6 seconds to send something to the server but it couldnt be sent.

virtualHere runs on port 7575, you definately dont have a firewall blocking inbound 7575?

Can you telnet to port 7575 from that client machine and see gibberish? Thats a good way to see if you actually can get connected to the server.

Lastly if its still happening, i can add an argument to the client to update the timeout to more than 6 seconds but generally messages should be sent/received in milliseconds, unless you are over a slow WAN or VPN or something.

Thanks for the response.

There is no firewall, it is purely an internal network. It works sometimes, just not all the time. When I run a concurrent ping the response time is always sub 6mS.

If I move the Raspberry onto the same switch rather than over "Powerline" it all works fine. Note that I can happily stream full HD over the Powerline connection.

Any ideas?

In addition.....was able to telnet to the port fine before, during and after the loss of connection.
Also, tried it over going between two gigabit switches (response time less than 2ms). A lot better but still the occasional drop in connectivity.

Also tried setting vhui.ini as follows -

[General]
AdminMode=0
HideMenuItems=
MainFrameWidth=400
MainFrameHeight=250
EnableSSL=0
AutoFind=1
ReverseLookup=0
AutoMinimize=0
AutoRefreshLookupPeriod=30
SSLClientCert=
[Settings]
ManualHubs=192.168.0.85:7575
[Transport]
CompressionLimit=384
PingInterval=100
PingTimeout=100
[AutoShare]
All=0
0000000077cafa44.113=1
0000000077cafa44.4610.2000.113=0
0000000077cafa44.4610.2000=0

No change, still got the error after running the video for 12-30 seconds.

Note that connection is stable when not under load.

Download the latest server 2.5.4 and client 3.1.8 and it should be fixed
