OK, here is a wierd one.

Occasionally when I start up Gizmo it cannot connect to my server. It goes through the 10 attempts and fails. If I then go to the server MC tells me there is an update to install and I do the update. Once the update finishes Gizmo is able to connect to the server. It does not make much sense that just because MC has detected an available update and is waiting for an OK to install it that Gizmo should not connect. I do not know whether JRemote 3 does the same thing or no.

This is hard to reproduce since it only happens when MC is waiting to install an update, but I have seen it in the past and always dismissed it as an anomaly. But it happened again today.

Any thoughts?

I've seen pending Windows updates cause similar problems, but not MC.

This was definitely a MC update waiting, but maybe there is a pending Windows update also. I will check.

Last Windows update was 3/12 and there was an update available but I do not think it had been downloaded. So, I do not think it was Windows.

And, once I installed the MC update, Gizmo worked again.

This only happens occasionally so is not a big issue but thought I would report it.  It just takes me some time to figure out what is happening. Next time, if I remember, I will try JRemote 3 also.

Thanks.

Next time, also check again if there is a Windows Update Notification sitting around, even if the update is not actually downloaded.  Stranger than fiction, but I've seen weird things with MC in such situations, as Jim mentioned.

I did not see any Windows notification but I will check in the future. I will say that as soon as I installed the MC update, Gizmo starting working again, which makes me think it is a MC issue, although I have no idea why.
