Dude, some noob questions

Hello world !!!

I am just trying (again) to get my Dude software working.
It runs on an x86@2Ghz. Should be enough.
First problem is :

  • When my laptop running the Dude loses the wireless connection, the Dude just dies and forgets everything. All logins and settings are lost. Is there a way to avoid this ?

Usage problems :

The manual says :

…When using the Discovery interface, links get added automatically…

, but this does noit seem to work

Already read most of the wiki/manual and other sites but did not yet find a solution.

Further info :

All devices are MikTik
SNMP is enabled on all devices.
ROS is 6.42.6 on all devices
On some stone aged x86 hardware the dude server package is installed.

TIA
