Crash on startup with "minimal" Internet.

Say you are on a public wifi, but haven't gone through the accept/sign process on the local network. foursquarex crashes without any notice or warning and the messages in the system.log aren't much help:

Not sure what this comment is about, perhaps I wasn't clear enough. If the public wifi doesn't let your traffic out to the net, foursquarex crashes.

Sorry for the post in the less then perfect spot.

From both home and work, FSX has never gotten past the point:

There is no indication of a crash either in GUI or in log.

Both networks are
802.11n, with public, static IP on the outside and cisco fw/routers creating basically standard LANs handing out inside IPs. (10.0.1.x etc)

Hey,

Can you test the latest build and let me know if you're still seeing this issue?
http://github.com/downloads/codebutler/foursquarex/FoursquareX-0.08.2.zip

To clarify, the issue is if you're connected to wifi, have an IP, and have a route to an inaccesible gateway? Or can the client reach the gateway, but the gateway can't get get to the internet?

Doesn't crash now, however when the network is fully accessible, that is, traffic routes outside the local subnet FoursquareX refuses to become aware of this. Bringing up the main window, issuing a refresh does no good.

Just to be clear: Hop on a network that has local traffic only until you accept terms of condition which enables your outbound/inbound traffic off the local subnet. I've tested breaking this by just blocking traffic out with a local firewall.
