Also, in one of the posts, the explanation stated that Ninja will continuously try to reconnect to the lost connection. According to the log Ninja lost the connection at 8:48 am local time (GMT+10). I only saw this just now at 11pm local time, so the connection was down for 14 hours. I stopped both my strategies, disconnected from Zen-fire, reconnected, and voila! A green connection again, immediately. It seems to me that Ninja must have given up trying to reconnect at some point, because the connection is fine now.
Because of the time zone I live in my strategies run unattended all night, so I am not monitoring what's going on with any regularity, so this is a concern for me. I understand that NT cannot guarantee the connection, (it's like a radio receiver according to the explanation) and if the signal is lost there's not much it can do. Fair enough, but it would be nice if it did reconnect (and turn green) as soon as the signal was rediscovered (to continue the radio analogy).
I have been using NT for several years now (the last six months live) and this has never been a problem before. Now it seems to be almost a daily occurrence. It started several weeks ago, and I have to say I didn't really pay a lot of attention as everything seemed to be still working, but tonight I thought I'd investigate a little further, and now I'm worried. I should also mention I've been using NT7 almost since it was first released. I'm using the 32 bit version as I'd read there were problems with the 64 bit version and Zenfire (although I believe that's since been resolved I'm still using the 32 version just in case (call me paranoid...) and anyway there's really no reason I know of to go to the 64 bit version).
Nothing on my PC has substantially changed recently (except one of my monitors is dying), I'm using WIn7 (and have been since the free beta was first released), same antivirus (Microsoft security essentials) and pretty much nothing else as I only use my PC for running Ninja (and the net and email of course, Google Chrome and Thunderbird if you're interested) and that's about it, so I don't think my setup can be causing the problem. My ISP, iinet, is the second biggest in Australia (according to their advertising) so I don't think the problem could lie with them. Again, been using them for years and never had a problem. And yes I've installed the latest version of NT7 (7.0.1000.3), I always install the latest version as soon as it becomes available. I'm reasonably sure this issue was occurring under the previous version too (7.0.1000.2) but I wouldn't bet my house on it.
No idea if there's anything anybody can do about this issue, but if there is any action I can take to alleviate the problem I sure would like to know about it.
Thanks,
Ian
