Frequently Asked Questions
My Router is not supported, or the reconnect does not work. What shall I do?
Reconnect requests a new IP address from your internet service provider in order to reduce or remove mandatory host wait times between file download. Reconnect/Requesting a new IP address will only work if your IP address is dynamically issued by your ISP. It will not work if you have a fixed IP address, or if your ISP reissues you the same IP.
- Try the automatic router detection.
- Use the reconnect recorder
If it still does not work, contact our support

This is a false alarm! This file belongs to the network sniffer detection. It returns all running processes which are compared to a black/white list.
With version 0.4.495, this file is not longer needed, and thus not included to JD.
