[WT-support] how to increase the WT network reliability?

[Luca NCJ]

Tonno,

have you never tryed to use the command "SYNC" instead of reload?
Last year in D4C M/M using 7 PC's some of them connected with cable (3 if I
rememeber well) and the rest via local WI-FI and the differences between
logs were really minor after 48 hours (and not present in all logs).
We used same IP category both for cable and WI-FI and with automatic IP
Address.

Ciao
