often we'll resort to building, running, zipping up and then emailing a profile to a frustrated user. unzipping it to the existing waste folder and launching means instant connection. pre-made profiles come complete with fresh ip numbers and work 99% of the time. actually i don't remember one ever failing.

sometimes this is the only way to go.

once the initial connection is finally made however it's nearly bulletproof. the client will essentially always connect after that.
