No search results after connection is "lost"

Soulseek General Discussion

Hi, this has luckily worked in the greater part of the 2012 builds, but now the old problem is back again: if you are at an ISP with not only a dynamic IP, but also get auto-disconnected after 24 hours, search stops working. No more results. Nil.

Only workaround is to disconnect (inside Soulseek) and reconnect every time when your connection gets (forcibly) "lost".
I'm wonder what was it that broke it again? (because it worked fine in the 2012 builds on from about late last year's spring)

Have you tried setting up your PC with a LAN static IP (192.168.1.x) and forwarding ports to it that way? That's worked for me for years now w/ Soulseek on Windows. I'm certain that would fix it, because I had a dynamic IP from my ISP that whole time.

Try something like (depending on your network config):
192.168.1.5 (or 10.1.10.20, or whatever your config is)
255.255.255.0
Google DNS
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4

Good luck!

Umm, I'm directly connected to the ADSL modem (yes that still exists lol). No router. (Since currently, I need none. Would only make sense if I had more than one PC to wire with Internet and/or other networking stuff (e. g. NAS))
