Yesterday (Monday 29th of October), my iCamSource 2.5 suddenly refused to connect to the iCam Broker Server. It keeps stating "Connecting ..." in the window banner.
I run Windows 8 x64, nothing changed at all on my machine yesterday. The firewall is entirely off.
Tried everything, exiting and restarting iCamSource, nothing helps.
Any idea?
Thanks,
Vincent

Well, rebooting helped. Strange.

As a matter of fact, the same thing happened again. iCamSource was connected, lost connection during night (unrelated to iCamSource I think, I have another process keeping internet 100% busy during night), was never able to reconnect when internet throughput is back. During day, if I exit iCamSource and restart it, it is unable to reconnect. Only an entire reboot of the system is capable of setting it back.
Any idea?

After many start/stop sequences, it eventually accepted to connect. When it refused to connect, it was consuming network bandwidth trying to connect (as spotted on the task manager).

I am having the same "Connecting…" problem (but without any connection occurring)

Mac OS 10.6 w/ newest version of iCamSource.

It had been working properly, but I restarted the computer and now it won't connect. Subsequent restarts don't seem to help. Any ideas?

Hmm. Similar to vgfl, a restart eventually fixed it for me.

I restarted about 7 times (trying multiple times to Start iCamSource and Connect after each restart). Finally it worked.

Gremlins?!  ;D
