NoRouteToHostException when the system starts with no network connection

[Gurumoorthy Doraiswamy]

Hi,

We have UDP client which we run as windows service using Java service wrapper. My problem is when the system starts with no network connection and when the service starts automatically i receive the "NoRouteToHostException".

How to resolve this? we tried with Datagramsocket.setReuseAddress(true) but still no use. The Datagramsocket.isconnected() always return false.

Can anyone suggest how to resolve this.

Can you catch the Exception and set up a loop with a timer to check for a connection - say - once a minute?

Many thanks for the update.

I have performed the same for now to fix the issue. But is there any option like checking the datagram connected state ... etc.,
