[AG-TECH] PiGs on WLAN

[Andrew Daviel]

I recently tried to use a laptop PiG on a WLAN. The venue client took an
unreasonably long time (on a 1.2GHz thinkpad) to start, causing everyone
to decamp to another building with a permanent AG setup.


Brian Corrie noted that he had been caught if a real IP number from a
previous location or wired LAN is saved in the node
configuration rather than localhost. Then if the venue client can't
contact the node manager it may take a very long time to timeout.


Something to look out for - and it would be nice if these things did not
block the main venue client process.
