Hello Scott. Kaboodle has 2 threads, which ping LAN - *CSearchNetworkManager* and *CSnifferThread*. As I see from the *Ping.txt* log file, they have following approximate estimate of pinging: CSearchNetworkManager - 30%, CSnifferThread - 70%. Now CSearchNetworkManager ping only if Kaboodle has Master Node status. In my yesterday CVS snapshot CSnifferThread also pinged only if Kaboodle has Master Node status. After you found Win98 bug, I return back - CSnifferThread pings always. Please test both variants on your Win98 laptop - with and without ping from CSnifferThread. The source code has very simple possibility for implementing these things. Please look into the file COMMON\Ping.cpp. There is the line #23. Now there is following text //#define _PING_FOR_MASTER_NODE_ONLY and CSnifferThread pings always. If you remove out commentary (first and second symbols) from that text, then CSnifferThread will ping for Master Node status only.
