Re: Netserver startup

Hello Rob,

To make it more generic one could retrieve an IP address of one of your DNS
servers and ping that bad boy.

Thanks for the hint! But By pinging the printer (converter box) itself, I have a "true" end to end test. Handling this situation likeise would be more complicated if I had more than one converter box/printer.

Or if you want to keep it simple, ping the loopback IP address commonly used. But that doesn't rely upon the comm interface being up.

I also had this in mind but you already added why this isn't exactly applicable here.

Same as above.

I do appreciate your thought, though!

:wq! PoC
