The firewall at work removes all authentification shortly after midnight. So you have to get firewall permission at least once every 24 hours. Now this can cause problems with communcition attempts going to several days, especially after a weekend.

I have notice the upload of a finished WU is on a more reasonable sechedule. Where a communication attempt can be days, the upload of a finished WU can be hours.

It would be nice when the client does a WU upload, also does a check for a delayed communication check. If it finds such a delay, then do the communication check right after the upload of the WU. This would minimize my firewall permission problems.
