I have a ND+2 with the latest beta firstware installed. I have my app working great except it hangs at least a few times a day. It's all related to the timeouts with Sockets. 

 

I've seen on a few posts on the forum that mention this issue...  

 

 

[color=rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;font-size:12px;]... i have also found out that there are no Connection [/color][font="helvetica, arial, sans-serif;background-color:#FFFF00;color:#FF0000;font-size:14px;"]Timeout[/font][color=rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;font-size:12px;] on  "Dns.GetHostEntry("api.pachube.com")" and the "[/color][font="helvetica, arial, sans-serif;background-color:#FFFF00;color:#FF0000;font-size:14px;"]Socket[/font][color=rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;font-size:12px;].Connect()" - So what you are facing is the [/color][font="helvetica, arial, sans-serif;background-color:#FFFF00;color:#FF0000;font-size:14px;"]timeout[/font][color=rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;font-size:12px;] problem, (seems like it), because it stops printing out your debug information, but i could be wrong.[/color]

 

The only way i can find to fix the problem is to create a watchdog that need to be triggered after "new Socket(..)" - But that’s not a solution, it’s just a work around and the problem will still exist

 

Do we have an update on when a true solution will be found? I'm guessing that's something that should be put in the netmf code? 

 

In the mean time... A "watchdog" is the solution that I've seen brought up. I'm a bit confused on what that is and how to implement it. 

 

What other solutions have people been using to stop the hang from happening? 

 

Thanks!

Hi, i'm in the same boat, i think one of possible solutions are timers.
 
using (watchDog = new Timer(new TimerCallback(socketTimeout), null, 5000, 0))
{
            sock.Connect(ip);
}
 
something like that...
but i should prefer a way to step over the code and not execute another function...

I open a new thread and connect from this new thread, it hangs the threat, but not the entire program.

However, the ND2 hangs after 1 or 2 days. If I unplug the Network cable it not hangs!
