0.8.7 hangs during connection test

[neilio]

Hi there -

I just upgraded the desktop client to 0.8.7 and now it's hanging/beachballing just after it starts the connection test. Grabbed a sample and posted it: http://neil.io/CJqC.

I've tried trashing preferences and starting over but the hang persists.

Hi neilio,

I see you're running a pre-release version of OS X, and that you have rouge amoeba's audio hijack, I wonder if one of these two are conflicting with RemoterFusion.

If you'd like to try version 0.8.5, please grab it here, and let me know if it resolves your problem.

Thanks!,

Actually, I just found a workaround for 0.87 - if you switch from auto / NAT setup to manual RemoterFusion successfully checks availability without hanging.

Manual will require you to set up the port-forwarding in your router manually, though. I wonder if the hanging you were experiencing is caused by your router being in a bad state and not cooperating with RemoterFusion's UPnP/NAT-PMP commands.. You could try rebooting your router..
