foxcub Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 I have the following problem with a BT Sync running on a Mac laptop. I have a client running on an always-on desktop at work (Linux) and on my laptop (Mac). If I launch BT Sync on my laptop on either network, it happily finds my work desktop. But if I put it to sleep and wake it up on the other network, it doesn't. If I put it to sleep and wake it up on the original network, everything works again. I've had this problem since starting to use BT Sync a few months ago, and it's persisted across versions. The current version running on both computers is 1.1.48.Is this a known problem? Are there any suggestions as to what I could try to fix it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatMarko Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 I assume the problem resolves itself if you restart Sync after waking up the device once you've changed networks?Also, when you say it's on a different network, is the connection type still the same at both your home/work locations? i.e. wired LAN at both, or wireless LAN at both locations? - if it's wired at one, but wireless at the other, this will likely explain the issue, as Sync will attempt to connect to the same network card upon resuming after sleep - it won't go searching for other network cards until you restart the app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxcub Posted August 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Indeed, the problem resolves itself immediately if I restart Sync. The connection type is the same in both cases: it's a wireless network. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
