Error attempting multiple connections

[Zaddo]

I am a newby to both Unity and SmartFoxServer. I have had some success making a multiplayer game and connecting to the server running locally on my development PC.

I am using the sample scripts and integrating them into my game.

The logs below show a problem I get when I try to connect to the server, when it has not been started, then start it, then try to connect again. The OnConnection event comes back very quickly first time if I do or don't have a server running. However, if I try to connect a 2nd time after server has started, it takes several minutes for the failed connection event to fire back. The second time it comes back it should connect successfully, as the server has now started. I cannot identify the problem from the available diagnostics I have at hand. Any ideas or pointers for further investigation will be much appreciated.

As you can see from below cut'n'past the server receives the request to connect. However the client

Hi.
Are you running both the server and the Unity Client on the same PC?
If so, please make sure that the server isn't being blocked by a firewall...

Also if you don't have BlueBox configured correctly, the first attempt at connection uses the "socket" method. However the API does NOT reset the connection method ever, so connection attempts after the first will always use "http" (BlueBox).

There are 3 solutions that I know of:
1) Configure BlueBox correctly, this should be done if you plan on using it (fyi, it will use 2 CCUs per client)
2) Destroy the SF object (in Unity) and create a new one when you need to reconnect (to force socket method again)
3) Disable BlueBox on the Unity API, this is the easiest, but only do this if you do not plan on using BlueBox at all

Jake already gave the best answers.

Your client jumps into bluebox mode and will stay there forever. If BB isnt configured - bummer.
