try setting Pan to retry 100 times that should be enough I guess, click
on the button on the left bottom corner that says 'Offline' most of the
time and set max retries at whatever you think is good. 100 is just a nice
round decimal number, try 0010 0000  or whatever your favorite numbering
system considers a round number ;)
