The Dude 2.0b8 is killing my network

Hello,

I am new to The Dude software and I have to say I really love it. I have one serious problem with it though.

Every hour Dude is killing my network. I dont know what it does but all my service and servers and network become really slow and not responsive. I didnt have this problem before ever so I do think it’s Dude who causes troubles.

Here is the copy of my Event log:

Does anybody know what to do? I can give you more information if you tell me what you need to know.

Thank you.

I’m far from being a Dude expert but to me it sounds like you have your network set to auto discover. If so, once every hour it’ll recheck your network looking for new devices and cause some lag depending on the services you’re scanning.

To check this go to “Settings” from your network map. At the bottom of the settings window you’ll see your auto discover networks. Try removing your network for a couple of hours and see if it fixes the problem.
