Hi,

It seems that this little program does not find my 'Mobile Broadband 
connection' 
Is it possible to add this feature to?

If there is a GOTO within IF parenthesis, the IF statement does not close and 
causes issues.

Need to make sure this does not happen

A simpler version of the "review all settings" option.

Shouldn't be too hard. I have most of the code written already.

User will still be able to enter the name manually, though I can't think of a 
reason why... If it's not listed it doesn't detect it and it will come up 
invalid anyway...

exportsettings: allow user to set settings if found invalid

I would like to add this. Unfortunately, at the moment the only way to 
implement this would require that the user reset their settings each time it 
updates.

I'm working on a solution for this

If there are multiple settings files, the user would have to specify which one 
to use each time they run it. 


I need to implement a method in which settings in Application Data folder or 
portable are loaded automatically even if other setting files exist. This 
option will not be available for the settings file in C:\NWResetter\


In relation to issue 21:

WinXP:
If a global settings file (C:\NWResetter\NWRSettings.BAT) was created by an 
administrative account, any user with less privileges will not be able to 
modify those settings. 

To have unique settings, the user would have to change the setting location to 
either the same directory (portable) or to their Application Data folder. 

A lot of the functions of this program will not work on a limited account. 
functions like those listed in issue 21. 

Right now, the program attempts these functions even when they cannot be 
performed. This causes some functions to return false information and the 
program will not work correctly. 

even if it finds setting file in C:\NWResetter
it will not write to it


easily fixed once i have time

Some network connectivity errors can be fixed by restartign the DHCP service. 
There are probably other issues that can be fixed by restarting a service

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Select that as where to save


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Should load from that location, but does not when first
setting it



I have to look into what's causing this.

more of a nuisance than an actual problem. 
could be remedied with a few IF statements (when I have time)

For whatever reason, the "*" after the title is sometimes offset.

I've run the script on a fresh install of Windows 7 and had this occur. Later, 
on the same machine after another fresh install, it was as it should be (the 
star was lined up with the others). 


It's a minor but annoying issue.

Needs to be verified.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Go where there's no internet service available
2. Run program
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Program will get stuck on "Checking connectivity"
(infinity checking for network status: connected)

This would not be an issue if you are, say, walking from one wireless hotspot 
to another. It would temporarily not be able to go past that point in the 
program but as soon as the new network is connected to, the program would 
continue.

The only time that I can think that this would be an issue is if a person 
leaves  the program running where there is no internet for an extremely long 
amount of time. Extremely long, as in long enough to check the connectivity 
over 999999999 times. 

Another possible scenario is if the user manually disables the connection after 
it has started checking for connectivity. That would lead to an infinite 
checking as well.

This would eliminate any possible issues from multiple users having it set to 
start up (and therefore multiple instances running).

this ability involves modifying the registry to enable it.

Again, can be easily fixed once I have time

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run in continuous mode with limited connectivity
2. Wait for it to attempt to fix the problem

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It needs to wait for connection to be enabled before it tests
It tests too rapidly bc network connection is still disabled

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.
This is a rare issue, but an annoying one. Closing the program
and manually enabling the Network Connection results in a fixed 
connection.

I need to find a way to test whether or not the Network Connection
has been enabled or not.

I can't use my SLEEP function because that uses PING which delays the
network connection from being connected after calling the command to 
enable it. 

Create launchers in Desktop and Start Menu
Copy main batch to install location

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Flip the switch on the outside of a laptop to disable wireless network
2. Run program with network set to a Wireless network
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
This should catch the error and let the user know that their wireless 
capabilities have been physically disabled

Instead, the program just crashes with error:
"NETWORK" is unexpected at this time.

First step to fix this: I have to find what function is getting this error. 

Listed below...

Right now, in CONTINUOUS mode, the program may automatically restart when it 
does not detect network connectivity.

This would [possibly] reset the number of times the connection has been fixed, 
thought it might not.

Need this for "Press any key to edit config" at beginning.

I have a working version. Unfortunately, it currently requires another batch 
file. I am working on migrating it into the main batch file.

Goals for BETA 17:

For example, monitoring both LAN and Wifi.

The only problem with this is figuring out how to test
internet access of one without disabling the other.

timer introduced in r70 is buggy.

Certain times of the day will cause the program to crash. Either that or some 
unknown variable that changes with the time.


Need to see what is actually causing the problem.

Right now the script disables the ability to have a portable copy start at log 
on. 

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. set program to startup
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
startup copy makes own settings file if none in c:\NWResetter

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run program as normal
2. When it tests the internet connection, if it has not yet fully connected a 
wired connection, it will test too quickly

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Blows right through the test and fails or retries with similar result

For this I will need to:

Check for NWResetSettings.bat in:
-Same folder
-C:\NWReset\

If exists, call it

If none found, ask if user wishes to create new settings or continue with 
default (default shown)

Create settings file:
Same folder or C:\NWReset\
NWResetSettings.bat


Once I do this, I should be able to auto-check for update and auto-update.

Something that would probably be pretty easy to implement.

Something that shouldn't be very hard at all to implement:
-Give advanced user option to store settings in main file like it used to be. 

These options would be modified by opening the file with notepad (or a similar 
text editor). A hard-coded "switch" would determine whether these settings were 
overridden by external or visa-versa. By default the internal settings would be 
overridden.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run the program as usual
2. Wait for program to test connection

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It should have connected, instead it just times out


I have a temp fix ready to commit. All it does is change the testing site from 
google to yahoo.

I'm also working on a code that will switch from site to site
whenever it can't connect, just to make sure it isn't the website
that is causing the problem. 

Unfortunately, I can't seem to commit anything at the moment. 

It can be one of the initial options in the main menu.
Format would be much like the settings configuration menus

I want to do this so people don't have to find googlecode in order to figure 
out how to use it. Right now you can mostly learn how to use it just by reading 
through the settings' descriptions, but it does not have all the information I 
would like to make available.

Once I start making the FAQ, I will probably also work on the wiki, but I'm not 
sure.
