When I start up PuTTY 1.3.2 and enter connection details and wait for it to connect to the network, the screen slowly fades away and the Communicator reboots.
It tries to connect to my Home WLAN and it should obviously fail doing so and ask what connection to use (O2 GPRS) - instead it crashes... This has happened twice now...
Anyone got better luck?

Hmm it works for me, via WLAN I acces the home LAN and then I connect to a linux machine. Initially it takes me a minute or two to get the username prompt, but it works for me. How I do it:
1. Start Putty
2. Click "Connect"
3. Enter IP address of remote host
4. Click "OK"
5. get "Dialling" and after 2-3 sec it asks me to select an access point, I choose my home WLAN and wait a minute or two and then get the username prompt,....

I get point 5, dialling too.... but after a while it just dies... Never gets to "select access point" (at which I'd like to switch from default WLAN to GPRS). 😞
Is there anything in putty's log file C:\putty.log (if you enabled logging)?

I did it again, with log set to debugging, and the log file is empty. 😞
What happens is that it says Dialling, and then dialling disappears for a very quick flash, and then it appears again. Then it crashes...
Hmm don't know, it works fine for me, I had Putty 1.3.1 one week ago and it worked, I even did not restarted after deinstall of old and install of new (1.3.2.) (like some other OS 😊) and it worked out of the box. Did you try to ehmm..restart your phone?

Tried to reboot the phone - same issue.
Seems like PuTTY isn't really happy with switching connections, especially if the first one is unavailable... 😞 😞
Hmm.. I use PuTTY only via WLAN (that is also my prefered connection type, higher priority then other AP's) ...will try at home some combinations and post them here later...but I don't think that PuTTY tries to use the AP with higher priority, I think it asks you everytime to choose the AP you want to use...have to check this assumption....
I get the same crash. It only happens when I have autoselect of internet connection on and my default internet connection is unavailable. For me I just turned off the autoselect... it isnt a huge inconvenience for me and I must have PuTTY.

Where do I turn that off? I'm sure I've turned it on manually, but even with the single control panel, things don't stick to my memory as they should (I reckon my memory is really good, albeit a bit short 😞 😉 )

Tools -> Control Panel -> Connections -> Internet Setup -> Other -> Ask before connecting (YES)
Hmm..mine does not crash, it seems to try to connect forever....

Thanks - I'll give it a go later - and if you can't get it to crash, you're not trying hard enough 😉 😉
