Hi,

Is it possible that the site that runs your application or your own site has
variable IP addresses. Some ADSL providers force an hourly address change onto
their customers. This may lead to the problems you see.
If your application logs something to your home screen and your home address
changes it will run until some buffers fill up and then it all depends on how
various applications react to this phenomenon.

Reconnecting shouldn't be a problem, but might if f.e. your dyndns (or the likes) entry has not been updated yet.

kind regards,

Nico Baggus
