Occasionally when I tune channel 5 and someone is already hosting RW on that channel, my box will lock up until RW finds that it cannot connect to the host IP address. This leaves me with a frozen screen in Aces High where I can't alt-tab out. Ctrl-alt-del'ing will get me to the Win2k task manager, but there's no mouse pointer. It's a real pain to switch to RW and kill it so I can get back to flying in Aces High. Note, my plane keeps flying in Aces High regardless of my FE being locked up--so unless I'm in the tower or on autopilot, when I get back from the lock up I'll probably find my plane has crashed.
Anyone know--I mean
really know 100% sure why this happens? I think it could happen because the other guy has RW hosting disabled in AH or is behind a firewall. Or perhaps it is some peculiarity that happens with different versions of RW?
