You know, I remember this happened to me a while back. There was a junior Pastor who liked to sit at this one coffee shop nearby to do his sermons. Old laptop no problem. New laptop, he couldn't even CONNECT to their wifi. He could everywhere else, just not this ONE coffee shop. Bob S > On

I'll have to find out the answers and do a little more testing. I didn't have any trouble at all today at a coffee shop near me but one of the testers has found a very reliable bad network so I can ask him to try the things you've mentioned. We were joking today that we have good news - -

Hi Jacque, Any of those error codes (6, 7 or 35) are reasonable if you are operating in an area with a really poor connection. When you are operating on a public wifi, it could have a lot to do with how the wifi is configured, as Bob mentioned below.  How these are configured can vary

Okay, so three of us have been running around for a couple of days trying to find "bad" internet connections. Sometimes we walk to the limits of our router until we barely get a connection, and we get curl error 35. At some coffee shops with a solid connection we get error 6, once error 7.

That is interesting. Coffe Shops/Public Wifi typically use a proxy server and that may be what is restricting your DNS resolution. And yeah it could definitely be a router issue as well. Sometimes I have to reboot the router at work. No rhyme or reason, it just stops passing traffic and I have

If you are referring to the server using an IP address, then DNS is out of the equation, unless tsnet is internally trying to resolve a DNS name, which it might if signed SSL certificates are involved. If that is the case, then yes, it is out of your control, much like my Forms Generator app,

It happens to other users in other places, but only occasionally -- though we haven't got a whole lot of users yet, mostly just the client and some testers. The reason we started looking into this is because the client was giving a demo and it totally failed (ouch. He was trying to sell it.)

That is a DNS error. If referring to a host, you can use the NetBIOS name locally, the FQDN locally or remotely, or the IP number (which might change so that is always a bad idea). Now if the host name is NetBIOS, a number of things can go wrong in a non-domain environment. With a domain
