Connecting from diff PC with same ID breaks initial session?

Post by nom4tter »

Hi there,

while testing PcHelpWare 1.0 I ran into the following issue:

After successfully establishing a connection from 1 server (user PC) to 1 listener (supporter PC) in repeater mode, I wanted to test what happens if another (unexpected) user tries to establish a connection at the same time with the exact same ID (e.g. through a preconfigured pchelpware_server.exe published on a website without contacting the supporter first). It seems that this breaks the initial session without warning and resets all connections (ECONNRESET in repeater log).

Can someone confirm this? If so, is there a workaround?

I would have expected that the second connection is refused by the repeater to ensure a stable initial session. This could save the supporter some hassle with (dumb :wink:) users.
