JRE VM dying under random network events

Hi,

We've been troubleshooting a connection problem with a client of ours
for several weeks. Basically, a combination of network stuff appears
to be causing the VM to freeze, or at least just kinda wander off for
awhile.

Our client software pings our server roughly every 30 seconds. This
customer is connecting using HTTPS Tunneling. They're running through
their proxy server and hitting their ISP, routing to us via MCI's
backbone.

There's an MCI router in Salt Lake that consistently shows around 10%
packet loss average. At random points throughout the day, the
connection is dying and unable to restore within our 3 minute timeout
period. On most systems and scenarios, the client software recognizes
this and notifies the user allowing them to reconnect.

Under THIS particular scenario, however, quite often the VM simply
stops - no more attempts to ping, no acknowledgement that the
connection is dead or that no response has been received, and nothing
else happens until the applet is closed. it can be restarted
immediately and the connection will be fine and happy. ALL logged in
users are disconnected at the same time, and some see it right away,
others do not.

I HAVE discovered that most of the users who appear to have the dead
VM have 1.3.1_03 AND 1.4.2_01 installed on their system, though only
1.4.2_01 is running at the time.

If anyone else has seen something like this, please let me know. We're
attempting to recreate it inhouse by running through a proxy and
simulating the approximate packet loss they experience (since MCI has
been unwilling to admit there's a problem with their server regardless
of the ping plots we give them) but they have a non-mainstream proxy
server.

Thanks
Durin

I searched around on the net for a bit, couldn't find anything though. I would like to find some code for a function where I input A Range Of Integers For example: Function( 1, 100 ); And the function will return me an array holding a random subset of integers in that range of a size that I specify So the Function would Probabaly look something like this:

I'm trying to synchronize a network app that uses random numbers generated by System.Random. Rather than pass every randomly generated number, I just pass the seed.

Well, I'm developing a Tetris game in SDL, but when it comes to deciding the next block, I'm stuck. It's random, but when I try something like seeding the randomizer with the time, it won't update as fast as one block can fall, and the next to be determined. Generating different numbers in one spur can work, but people can play Tetris for hours (or even days), and so you can't predict how long. You could constantly be making more with the...

Hello all, Is there a function in the standard C library which returns a prime number which is also pseudo-random? Assuming there isn't, as it appears from the docs that I have, is there a better way than to fill an array of range 0... RAND_MAX with pre-computed primes and using the output of rand() to index into it to extract a random prime.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
