Known Issues

• Some people reported that PingInfoView stop pinging after a few hours of continuous work. I tested PingInfoView in multiple computers, and until now I couldn't find a way to reproduce the problem on my own computers. I also tried to locate memory or opened handles leaks that might cause this kind of problem, but until now I couldn't find any leak. This problem is a mystery, and I'm still looking for solution.
