[Night <1269933@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As a side comment for my own experience, i use the autodetect
connection, and it sometimes fails at startup.. But when it fails it
doesnt help if i restart the client or even restart windows. In my cases
restarting the router allways helps and sometimes manually removing the
portmappings from the router. So atleast in my case any kind of timer
would not help to get the active mode working again, Im not saying there
cant be cases where it helps, but if the mapping fails at startup I
agree with eMTee, the user will restart client/windows/router in order
to get it working, atleast I would not wait for a period of time for it
to try mapping again and in my case it will also fail again with each
try.

Title:
  Request: Additional timer for creating port mappings

Status in AirDC++:
  New
Status in DC++:

Bug description:
  There are more and more passive users around. Many of these users use
  the settings for automatically create the port mappings at startup. It
  happens, more often nowadays, that the mappings fail due to whatever
  reasons without any changes to the client/router. Users often fix this
  by restarting either client/computer/router. What if there was a timer
  (in addition to the port mapping) that would enable the client to
  retry the mapping every X s/m/h  or something?
