Hello,
I check every 10 seconds if a connection to a distant server machine is open. If System.Network.LookUpIPAddress(“DynamicDomain”) returns an IP address I know that access to the remote server is possible.
However, when I plug out the internet cable from the router in order to test how the application will react, I see that the LookUpIPAddress method looks for its result for more than half a minute.
The problem with this is that this operation seems to block the application and the whole operating system for awhile.
Is there a way to tell the method not to look up for more than 2 seconds for example?
Or is there a better way to check if access to the remote server is possible?
Thank you for any suggestions.
