Hi everyone. I made a script for updating ip ranges. It all works fine. But I get an error at some time when the script is running. So it doesn't happen immediately. The error that I get is: "No valid response for 4th time... dying.... at C:\OTHERS\Ranges\update.pl line 23". I've searched on google, but I can't find anything about it. I hope you can help me out here.
