DUDE DONT CONNECT FOR LONG TIME...

HI to all..
last week dude didnt accept my password suddenly and didnt work anymore..i couldnt export my backup…i had to uninstall dude on server and installed it again and then i exported backup…after that time,dude dont have any problem but when i restart server ,all of software connect but dude need a lot of time to connect…i get this error:
“NO CONECTION COULD BE MADE BEACUSE THE TA…”…i cant see all of text of error…
has anyone no idea?..i need help:(

This is the same error I had. I posted at http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/dude-3-6-dropping-all-outbound-connections/61836/1 if you wish to follow it.

In my case, that machine is running Dude 3.6 which replaced an install of 2.2 that crashed and I lost all the historical data. So, I formatted it, loaded windows XP, updated it, loaded Comodo Internet Security and allowed appropriate ports through firewall. After running for a day, it would report that error in the bottom left of a remote Dude 3.6 client trying to connect to it. I figured it was the maximum TCP connection limit of XP as per the Event Viewer pointing me in that direction. So, I patched the tcp file to allow 10,000 concurrent tcp connections. It ran ok for a while but had the same thing again a couple days later. Rebooting the machine fixes it until it dies again. Interestingly, I could see currently open tcp connections in Comodo as listing 1000-2000 concurrent connections. When this issue hits, the outbound connections are ZERO. So, by logging into the server I could check for this and see - aha, it needs a reboot. Trying to remotely connect via Dude however, would fail, and yield that error. SO, I rebooted, and increased the polling interval to 60s. Same issue. Increased to 2m… same issue. I still think it is a maximum tcp connection limitation of XP. I seem to recall the Dude 2.2 install I had was set to a 5m poll interval, but it’s gone, so not sure.

Currently, I have the box running and it works till it fails, then has to be rebooted. It has had this behavior about 5 times in 2 weeks.

I am now considering loading a 4.0b3 install on windows 7 Pro versus a linux install via WINE to replace the replacement.

I do however, have a different Dude install… 3.5 I think… sitting on a Linux box. CentOS 5.7 or so. It has been running for over a year fairly reliably with only a few issues. It does not monitor everything though. It’s just for “critical” boxes that need a more rapid notification of ping failures.

I have not yet decided which route I will go. Still looking at both.
