26421 - Conn: Changing Open Transport IP stack or Remote Access PPP disconnect disables Moz

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Networking, defect, P3)

Description

[Adam Masri]

Build ID: 2000012601 (M13)
Platform: Mac PowerBook G3/300, 128Mb RAM, VM off.

I use multiple IP stacks for the various ISPs I use (at the various locations I
use them). I've noticed that if I have Moz running, switch to a different IP
stack, then try to load a new webpage, the Moz logo in the upper right will
flicker for a moment, then stop. Nothing will change on the current page. It's
as if Moz forgets how to talk to Open Transport. The same thing happens if I
disconnect from a Remote Access PPP session, then reconnect.

I believe both these issues are caused by the same underlying bug, which is why
I did not break them out.

Platform: PowerBook G3/300/192Mb/25Gb, MacOS 9.1
Mozilla Build: 2001080214 (0.9.3)

Using this build, it looks like everything's working fine. I had a non-local
Location Manager setting, launched Mozilla, switched Location Manager to where I
am now, and tried going to a few web pages. Everything's loading as it should.

I'm testing with EtherNET; I can't test from where I am with a dialup. If
somebody else could verify that dialup works (try connecting, launch Moz, load a
web page, disconnect, try loading a different webpage (so the m spins), hit
stop, reconnect, then see if you can load a different (uncached) webpage. I
think that's a pretty harsh test.

REOPEN: 
This was duped to the bug about going to sleep. 

+testcase
This is probably the earliest report of disconnect-reconnect not working on dialup.
