Post subject:  a remote PC remains "offline" after network restored

Hello
We have a Neorouter server in a cloud server. I can see a local PC (PC#1) from the VPN server's neorouter client. I can also see it (active) in my laptop's NRclient. If I detach the network cable from local PC #1, eventually the cloud server's NRclient shows PC#1 as offline. So does the NRclient on local PC#2 (my laptop). When I reattach the network cable of PC#1, the cloud server's NRclient eventually shows PC#1 as online (seems to require logging out and back into NRclient, which is a hassle). However on my laptop (PC#2), PC#1 remains offline in my NRclient indefinitely. Even deleting that computer and reattaching it does not bring it online. If I ping PC#1's VPN IP from a command prompt, it pings fine, so it is networked and active, but my NRclient doesn't seem to get that message.

Hi NiGHTS,

Thanks for your report.

What is OS installed on the PC#2?

By default, a computer's offline status should be refreshed in about 45 seconds if you "unplug" the network cable; the online status should be updated immediately once the NR client connects to the server.

Thanks,
KevinZ - NeoRouter team
