well, disconnects happen, and before u have to browse thorugh the list again why not just have auto reconnect.
mainly this would be useful when connecting first time to the server, since u get thrown back into the connection list.

kinda like this:
Autoreconnect: yes
Max Reconnect tries: 3

why max reconnect tries?
well...who would want to get stuck in a never ending reconnect circle?

sure, its not really important, but could be useful imo.

+1, I got disconnected many times, and depending on the time spent on the server, sometimes I forget the name

Useful.

Doesn't the "Connect to specific game" option take you straight to the last server you were at ??

{Edit} Although auto reconnect would be really handy

+1 to this, it's useful. How would you prevent somebody DDoSing a server with it though/pammng the racers with 'a new guest is connecting'?

thats another point for the "max reconnect tries".
lets say 3 is max, then it would be ok i think.
also, the first connecting is always the slowest as it needs to load the track, download skins ect, which doesnt happen on the second connect.

+1 with the exception that if the player is kicked, it would not auto reconnect.

Yes it does.

I agree - a conditional +1 from me.

Fixed.

Mine and many other ISP's renew IP's every so often (heard this is to discourage P2P). A 15 or 20 second keep alive would work well. Very frustrating running up front and being kicked, rejoining and starting the next race at the back of the pack.
