[Ifeffit] Runner.exe Network Error

[Barton, David (DG)]

Bruce and Matt,

I am running the Ifeffit 1.2.8 on a Win2000 box and I having several issues with the startup of Athena/Artemis when I am not connected to a network.

First thing is that all programs run fine when I am connected to the internet.  So the obvious workaround for me is to just make sure that I have an open network connection before running Athena/Artemis.  However, it would be nice if the auto-update feature in "Runner.exe" would still let me run Athena/Artemis when I wasn't connected to the network, basically just ignore looking for an update when I don't have a network connection.

The errors that I get in the Runner.exe.log are below.  There are two different cases shown.  The first set of errors are when I have a connection to my local network, but have not yet logged onto the firewall that lets me out onto the internet.  The second set of errors comes up when I unplug the network connection completely.  Hope these help.
