0000294: Network down for a while => server connection lost forever
Try to unplug your network cable for a while (simulating a network failure). A "while" is, say 20 minutes (maybe less). You will never be connected to a server again.
No tags attached.

mherbert, did your IP change during this network failure? Or a simple netowork cable disconnect keeping the same IP will do what you say?

A simple network cable disconnect does it (maybe you can just check it?).

Maybe this issue can be solved with a configuration change? I wish this would then be the default configuration.

However, it would be nice if amule was ALSO able to recover from an address change, something frequent with DSL lines.

And how're we, hum, supposed to detect a ip change?

You can detect an IP change by its side-effect: all connections stall. The suggestion is not about monitoring the IP configuration on the host, rather about a more robust reconnection/recovery scheme.

I can't reproduce it, I assume it's not happening anymore.
