[Spice-devel] remote-viewer disconnected when unplugging laptop from dock and switching to WIFI network.

[giters at tuta.io]

Hi Frediano. Thank you for the reply. Yes it's good to have a way to distinguish the 2 cases. This is the log when I change the laptop's network from lan to wifi. Can we distinguish the case from the log? Or could I submit a feature request to distinguish the two cases?

```C:\Windows\system32>"C:\Program Files\VirtViewer v9.0-256\bin\remote-viewer.exe" "C:\Users\XXX\Downloads\download.vv"

I noticed when I unplugging the laptop from docking station (where it is connected through a network cable), and switching to WIFI network, the virt-viewer window will disappear. I assume the virt-viewer is not making attempts to reconnect when network get lost.
>>
>> I noticed when I clicked the console button on the Proxmox VE server, it actually download a download.vv file. When I click the download.vv file it actually uses the remote-viewer.exe to open it. There seems no option in the download.vv file or remote-viewer.exe that can configure the retry attempts.

Attempting to reconnect to your session, Connection attempt: 1 of 20".
