[h-e-w] Problems with GnuServ on laptop when network changes

[Ludwig, Mark]

Folks,

 

I have not dug into it too far yet, but it appears that GnuServ locks up when I switch network interfaces on my laptop.  In my configuration, this happens regularly when I dock and undock the laptop.

 

I am not using the networking functions (which I find intriguing, and may wish to use in the future).  I currently only use it on-host from an Explorer extension I call “Edit with Emacs.”

 

Does anyone here understand what’s happening and have suggestions about how to fix it?

 

A workaround I would consider is some sort of automation that detects the network switch and kills/restarts whatever needs bouncing….  I would even accept that this may require bouncing Emacs itself….

 

I’m a professional programmer, and will also consider digging into the code to fix it “correctly,” if that’s conceptually possible….

 

Thanks!
