Sometimes while connected to a Host your connection will drop, perhaps due to a network connectivity issue, or because the Host service on the remote machine is exiting or restarting. In most cases, PROXY Pro Master automatically attempts to reconnect to the Host, while presenting a dialog box.
This dialog shows the reason for the Remote Control disconnect, as well as any other services that were disconnected before the RC disconnect, and also displays two buttons labeled Quit and Reconnect. By default, PROXY Pro Master will automatically attempt to reconnect 15 seconds after the Remote Control disconnect. A countdown timer shows the time left before reconnect. If you wish to attempt the reconnect immediately, simply click "Reconnect." If you do not wish to attempt any further reconnects, click "Quit" and the Connection Window will automatically close.
If the reconnect succeeds, the dialog is automatically dismissed and Remote Control resumes as before. Any other services connected before the connection was interrupted will also be reconnected. If the reconnect fails, the reason for the failure will appear in the dialog, and PROXY Pro Master will keep trying to reconnect after the next 15 seconds, until a connection succeeds or you click "Quit." In certain cases, PROXY Pro Master will not automatically reconnect.
For instance, if a Host on Demand is stopping because the Host user chose to exit, or if the Host user explicitly chose to terminate the connection, or if the Host machine is going to sleep, then PROXY Pro Master will not automatically reconnect. Instead, the disconnect dialog will display without the countdown timer, but the Reconnect button will still be available.
If you choose to manually reconnect by clicking the Reconnect button, then PROXY Pro Master will re-enter its automatic reconnect mode, and if the first reconnect is unsuccessful it will keep trying to reconnect after the next 15 seconds, until a connection succeeds or you click "Quit."
