Wow. I was having problems with auto-reconnect not happening with 1.48.
So I updated to 1.6.2 and right away got a 10 MHash/s bonus.
Haven't re-tested for auto-reconnect but expecting that may be better now too.
Brilliant! Thank You!

(This is with 2x Sapphire 5830)

How long does it wait to reconnect anyway? (This is when net connection drops out briefly)

Edit: nope, this is still having a problem. If I lose internet then it doesn't disconnect and reconnect any more. I've waited 5 minutes or so and it still just sits there. Last msg is "work queue idle" and then nothing. I have to kill the processes and restart them, and then it connects immediately and continues fine.

I'm getting crappy ISP service tonight so every 20 minutes I'm losing the link.

Edit 2: I've written a small script that detects 0% utilization and reloads phoenix. With 1.6.2 that I'm using it simply does not detect network down and try to reconnect. It may work for other reasons but when my ISP connection drops Phoenix hangs with "work queue empty" message.

By forcing a reload of Phoenix it then starts trying to connect, retrying until it does. I would have thought that Phoenix would try to reconnect on it's own when the network drops out.
